Opportunity Summary:
YouthBuild is a competitive federal grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration (ETA) to fund local programs that help disadvantaged youth earn education credentials, gain job skills, and move into employment while completing meaningful community service projects. The program is authorized under the YouthBuild provisions of the Workforce Investment Act (29 USC 2918a) and is structured to support community-based efforts that combine classroom instruction, occupational skills training, and workforce services, often in a hands-on setting where participants contribute tangible work that benefits their neighborhoods.
For this solicitation (Funding Opportunity Number SGA DFA PY 13 04; CFDA 17.274 YouthBuild), ETA anticipated making about 73 awards nationwide, supported by an estimated total funding amount of roughly $73,000,000. Individual awards could be as high as $1,100,000. Based on the Department's FY 2014 funding estimate, the goal was to serve about 4,950 young people over the grant period of performance, spread across approximately 75 projects in communities across the country.
The grant is categorized as a discretionary funding opportunity, and the instrument type is a grant. It also includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning awardees are expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash or in-kind, depending on the full solicitation rules) to support the project and strengthen local buy-in and sustainability.
Eligibility is focused on experienced, mission-aligned organizations that have a track record of serving disadvantaged youth through YouthBuild or similar programs. Eligible applicants include public or private nonprofit agencies and organizations, including rural, urban, and Native American agencies. Examples listed in the announcement include faith-based and community organizations; entities operating under the Workforce Investment Act such as local workforce investment boards or American Job Centers (formerly One-Stop Career Centers); educational institutions like school boards, public school districts, and community colleges; community action agencies; state or local housing development agencies; Indian tribes and other agencies primarily serving American Indians; community development corporations; state or local youth service or conservation corps; and other public or private nonprofit entities eligible to provide education or employment training under a federal program. A notable restriction in this competition is that organizations funded under the FY 2013 YouthBuild competition (SGA/DFA PY 12 02) were not eligible to apply for this round if identified by the same Employer Identification Number, because those awards were already funded through November 2016.
Key dates for this specific posting were: Posted February 18, 2014; created March 20, 2014; and an application deadline of April 22, 2014.
