FY24 New Jersey Youth Corps (NJYC) Continuation Grant

The FY24 New Jersey Youth Corps (NJYC) Continuation Grant is a grant opportunity available to current FY 2023 NJYC grantees. The purpose of the grant is to implement a statewide coordinated service system to assist disconnected out-of-school youth, aged 16-25, without a high school diploma, in reengaging with educational, training, and employment opportunities for long-term career development. The NJYC program will provide full-time, cohort-based education, community service learning projects, individual counseling, and transition services to help Corpsmembers overcome barriers, obtain a high school diploma or measurable skill gain, and transition to a qualified post-corps placement along a career pathway. The grant program will run from July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024, and is part of a 4-year grant cycle. The funds awarded through this grant can be used for various purposes related to the NJYC program. Interested applicants should contact Patricia Jordan from the Division of Workforce Development for technical assistance. It is important to note that this grant opportunity is only available to current FY 2023 NJYC grantees.
