About this opportunity
The Youth Farm Safety Education and Certification (YFSEC) Program for Fiscal Year 2025 is a federal grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA). The program supports national efforts to deliver timely, pertinent, and appropriate farm safety education to youth seeking employment or already employed in agricultural production. The program solicits applications under three project types: SAY National Clearinghouse Project, YFSEC Instructor Training Project, and YFSEC Youth Training Project. Applications must be submitted by Cooperative Extension Services at 1862, 1890, and 1994 Land-Grant institutions and will be evaluated based on their ability to build upon the Safety in Agriculture for Youth (SAY) project's accomplishments through curriculum development, instructor training, and youth education initiatives.
The YFSEC program will provide approximately $411,000 in total funding, with individual awards capped at $138,000 per year for up to 4 years. The program aims to support multi-institution, multi-state partnerships, with required collaboration among Land Grant institutions. Projects must include performance measurement plans, sustainability strategies, and annual participation in SAY National Steering Committee meetings.
