Opportunity Summary:
The YouthBuild Grants opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SGA DFA PY 12 02) is a discretionary grant program offered by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), Employment and Training Administration (ETA), under the YouthBuild authority in the Workforce Investment Act (29 USC 2918a). For this funding round, ETA announced an estimated total of about 75,000,000 in available funds, with the final amount dependent on the YouthBuild appropriation for Fiscal Year 2013. Awards are made through a competitive process, and the agency anticipated making roughly 75 awards nationwide, supporting projects in approximately 75 communities and serving an estimated 5,200 participants over the period of performance. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) listed for a single grant is 1,100,000, and the program includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning grantees must contribute non-federal resources as part of the overall project budget.
Programmatically, the grants are intended to help disadvantaged and at-risk youth in local communities by combining education services, occupational skills training, and employment-related services with meaningful work and service activities that benefit the community. In other words, YouthBuild is structured to support young people who need both academic and workforce pathways, while they engage in hands-on projects that provide real work experience and a visible community impact. The grant funds support organizations that will oversee and deliver these integrated components, typically blending classroom instruction (such as secondary education completion or preparation) with career-focused training and structured supports that help participants move into employment and longer-term career pathways.
Eligibility is limited to public or private non-profit agencies and organizations, including entities with prior experience serving at-risk youth through YouthBuild or similar programs. The eligible applicant types listed are broad and include faith-based and community organizations; entities carrying out Workforce Investment Act activities (such as local workforce investment boards, American Job Centers formerly known as One-Stop Career Centers, and local school boards); community action agencies; state or local housing development agencies; Indian tribes or other agencies primarily serving American Indians; community development corporations; state or local youth service or conservation corps; and consortia of these organizations as long as a lead applicant is designated. The notice also allows other public or private non-profit entities that are eligible to provide education or employment training under a federal program, which gives ETA flexibility to fund a range of community-based implementers as long as they meet the underlying requirements.
Administratively, this opportunity is cataloged under CFDA number 17.274 (YouthBuild). It was posted on January 17, 2013, with an application closing date of March 19, 2013. Applications had to be received by 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date (the notice text shows an apparent formatting error as "40000 p.m."). The archive date for the posting is April 18, 2013.
