Notice of Availability of Funds and Funding Opportunity 
Announcement for: Pathways to Justice Careers for Youth

AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration, Labor.

ACTION: Notice of Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Funding Opportunity Number: FOA-ETA-16-09.
SUMMARY: The Employment and Training Administration (ETA), U.S. 
Department of Labor, announces the availability of approximately 
$5,000,000 in grant funds authorized by the Workforce Innovation and 
Opportunity Act (WIOA) Section 169 for the Pathways to Justice Careers 
(PJC) program designed to support access and entry into career pathways 
for at-risk and court-involved youth ages 16-21. This program supports 
at-risk and court-involved youth that are still in school (``eligible 
youth'') by providing: (1) Exposure to the world of work in the career 
fields of justice and emergency services, (2) mentoring to encourage 
participants to complete a high school diploma or equivalency, and (3) 
supportive services that engage participants and deter them from 
engaging or re-engaging with the criminal justice system.
    The Department plans to award approximately 5 grants of up to 
$1,000,000 each. These grants will combine case management, mentoring, 
career exploration, and exposure to the world of work models in the 
field of justice and emergency services for in-school youth ages 16 to 
21, that are eligible to graduate within 2 years and are at risk of 
dropping out of school or at risk of entanglement in the criminal 
justice system, or both; the eligible youth must be enrolled in a 
public secondary school or alternative secondary school. This grant 
provides these in-school youth the opportunity to work with and be 
mentored by professionals currently working in justice and emergency 
services careers.
    The complete FOA and any subsequent FOA amendments in connection 
with this funding opportunity are described in further detail on ETA's 
Web site at https://www.doleta.gov/grants/find_grants.cfm or on http://www.grants.gov. The Web sites provide application information,
