Notice of Funding Opportunity and Solicitation for Grant
Applications (SGA) for Civic Justice Corps Grants Serving Juvenile
Offenders
AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration, Labor.
ACTION: Notice of Solicitation for Grant Applications (SGA).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Funding Opportunity Number: SGA/DFA PY 10-04.
SUMMARY: Through this notice, the Department of Labor's Employment and
Training Administration (ETA) announces the availability of
approximately $20 million in grant funds authorized by the Workforce
Investment Act for Civic Justice Corps Grants to serve juvenile
offenders ages 18 to 24 who have been involved with the juvenile
justice system within 12 months before entry into the program. Civic
Justice Corps projects funded through this grant announcement will
provide young offenders the opportunity to give something back to their
communities through community service to make up for past
transgressions. Such projects hold promise for reducing the recidivism
rate of juvenile offenders by improving their vocational and
educational skills and long-term prospects in the labor market and by
increasing their attachment to their community and their sense of
community responsibility. These grants will be awarded through a
competitive process. ETA intends to fund a minimum of 13 grants at
various amounts. Applicants may submit only one proposal of up to $1.5
million to cover a 30-month period of performance that includes up to
four months of planning and a minimum of 26 months of operation.
The complete SGA and any subsequent SGA amendments, in connection
with this solicitation is described in further detail on ETA's Web site
