The Department of Education is seeking applications for its fiscal year (FY) 2023 Transitioning Gang-Involved Youth to Higher Education Program. This initiative provides funding for organizations to help gang-involved youth pursue higher education opportunities that will lead to certification or academic or occupational credentials.
Programs can include apprenticeships or other workforce preparation programs that promote job readiness. The initiative will also provide essential wraparound services that include culturally competent social and emotional support.
Apply by July 17, 2023.
