Youth Opportunities Committee Request for Proposal (June 18, 2009)
The Youth Opportunities Committee has been awarded 4 million dollars for the 2009-2010 program year to initiate pilot projects and targeted initiatives to serve youth who are between the ages of 14 – 21, low income and who have a barrier. As provided for in the Workforce Investment Act, barriers for youth are: deficient in basic literacy skills, a school drop-out, homeless, a runaway or a foster child, a pregnant or parenting teen, an offender, or an individual who requires additional assistance to complete an educational program, or secure and hold employment.
Given this opportunity, the Youth Opportunities Committee is seeking proposals from Regional Workforce Boards (RWB) and other entities that target Florida’s neediest youth and maximize leveraged resources. Proposals will be funded for a one-year contract and although a dollar cap has not been established, most projects should limit their funding requests to $500,000. Proposals showing leveraged funds and sustainability or replicability will have a greater chance of being funded. For non RWB entities, partnerships with local RWBs are highly encouraged.
Although the Committee is requesting all types of proposals serving the above mentioned youth population, several targeted areas or activities have been identified by the Youth Opportunities Committee and are as follows:
- Florida’s Neediest Youth which include:
- Children of incarcerated parents
- Court-involved youth
- Youth at risk of court involvement
- Homeless and runaway youth
- Indian and Native American Youth Migrant youth
- Out-of-school youth
- Youth most at risk of dropping out
- Youth in or aging out of foster care
- Youth with disabilities
- Improvements in Literacy & Numeracy Rates
- Alternative Education Opportunities (to include long distance or virtual)
- Training leading to receipt of industry recognized credentials, if available, in high growth sectors such as emerging technologies, green jobs, and S.T.E.M (science, technology, engineering and math)
- Rural Career Academy Development
If interested, please complete the proposal submission form and budget sheet and submit both documents to Rachael Trawick at rtrawick@workforceflorida.com and copy Dehryl McCall at dmccall@workforceflorida.com by COB on July 24, 2009. Workforce Florida Inc. retains the right to accept/reject any and all proposals.
