OpportunityTitle: YouthBuild Grants
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: Eligible applicants for these grants are public or private non-profit agencies or organizations including rural, urban or Native American agencies.     Because grantees who received funding from the Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 &#150; 2011 YouthBuild competition [SGA/DFA PY 10-02] have funding through 2014, these grantees (including any affiliates or members or affiliates of a grantee&#146;s leadership team) are not eligible to participate in this competition.  The Department plans to hold annual YouthBuild competitions, and those who received awards in FY 2010 or FY 2011 through the combined competition will be eligible to participate in the FY 2013 competition.
Description: The Employment and Training Administration (ETA), U.S. Department of Labor (DOL, or the Department), announces the availability of approximately $75 million in grant funds authorized by the YouthBuild provisions of the Workforce Investment Act [29 USC 2918a]. YouthBuild grants will be awarded through a competitive process. Under this solicitation, DOL will award grants to organizations to oversee the provision of education, occupational skills training, and employment services to disadvantaged youth in their communities while performing meaningful work and service to their communities. Based on FY 2012 funding, DOL hopes to serve approximately 5,210 participants during the grant period of performance, with projects operating in approximately 75 communities across the country.
