Opportunity Summary:
FY14 Youth Empowerment Program II (YEP II) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity administered by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health under CFDA 93.910 (Family and Community Violence Prevention Program). The program is designed to improve long-term life outcomes for at-risk minority male youth by reducing risk behaviors at critical stages of development and strengthening supports that can change trajectories over time. In practical terms, the grant is meant to back community, institutional, and cross-sector efforts that can show a clear strategy for prevention, skill-building, and positive youth development among minority males facing elevated risks related to violence, early fatherhood, limited educational opportunity, and weak access to mentoring or supportive adult relationships.
Projects funded through YEP II are expected to address one or more of four specific focus areas. The first is minority male youth violence prevention, including prevention efforts related to gang involvement and gang violence. The second focus area is teen pregnancy prevention education as it relates to males, emphasizing the role of young men in pregnancy prevention, responsible decision-making, and healthy relationships. The third focus area is career preparation and training that is appropriate for at-risk minority male youth, which can include workforce readiness, job skills development, exposure to career pathways, and other forms of structured preparation that realistically match the needs and circumstances of the target population. The fourth focus area is mentoring and support services tied to education and/or college preparation, recognizing that sustained guidance, tutoring, advising, and mentoring relationships are often central to improving school engagement and postsecondary planning.
The opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number MP YEP 14 005) anticipated making about 16 awards. Individual awards were expected to range from $250,000 (award floor) to $500,000 (award ceiling). No cost sharing or matching requirement was listed, meaning applicants were not required to contribute a specific non-federal share as a condition of receiving funds. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the activity category is identified as health, reflecting the program framing around violence prevention, adolescent health outcomes, and broader community well-being.
Eligibility was broad and included many organization types that commonly deliver youth services or conduct prevention programming. Eligible applicants included nonprofits both with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in that nonprofit category), for-profit organizations (with the requirement that they agree to forgo any profit or management fee), small, minority-, and women-owned businesses, universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, and a range of tribal entities (federally or state recognized American Indian/Alaska Native tribal governments, tribally designated organizations, Alaska Native health organizations, urban Indian health organizations, tribal epidemiology centers). State and local governments and their bona fide agents were also eligible, including U.S. territories and freely associated states listed in the announcement (such as the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau), as well as political subdivisions of states.
