About this opportunity
The Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration seeks applications for its YouthBuild program through February 2, 2024. Eligible applicants include non-profit organizations, public housing authorities, institutions of higher education, local governments, tribal organizations and governments to provide pre-apprenticeship services to opportunity youth ages 16 to 24, including education, occupational skills training and employment assistance. Applicants must describe proposed service areas and populations as well as education and construction or industry training programs. Selection will be based on local unemployment and poverty rates as well as plans for integrating classroom and hands-on learning, attaining industry credentials, developing youth leadership, and implementing community violence intervention strategies.
The agency intends to award approximately 75 grants across the country ranging from $700,000 to $1.5 million each over 40-month periods of performance to equip underserved youth with education and employment skills for economic self-sufficiency. Individual awards will fund education, construction skills training and occupational skills training in high-growth industries to serve opportunity youth in both urban and rural areas.

Update #2 · Latest ·
Under this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), DOL will award grants through a competitive process to organizations providing pre-apprenticeship services that support education, occupational skills training, and employment services to opportunity youth, ages 16 to 24, who are performing meaningful work and service to their communities. The YouthBuild program model prepares participants for quality jobs in a variety of careers, in diverse industry sectors, particularly in infrastructure sectors, and includes wrap-around services such as mentoring, trauma-informed care, personal counseling, transportation supports, and employment preparation - all key strategies for addressing violence in communities. YouthBuild applicants must include construction skills training and may include occupational skills training in other in-demand industries. This expansion into additional in-demand industries is the Construction Plus component. Eligible applicants for these grants are public or private non-profit agencies or organizations, including consortia of such agencies or organizations. These organizations include rural, urban, or Native American/Tribal entities that have previously served opportunity youth in a YouthBuild or other similar program. DOL will fund approximately 75 projects across the country. Individual grants will range from $700,000 to $1.5 million and require a 25 percent match from applicants, using sources other than federal funding. This FOA features a matching waiver for Tribal entities and U.S. insular areas which allows these entities to not include a match commitment in their applications. The grant period of performance for this FOA is 40 months, including a four-month planning period and a twelve-month follow-up period. Questions regarding this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) may be emailed to YB_FOA-ETA-24-36@dol.gov. We encourage prospective applicants and interested parties to use the Grants.gov subscription option to register for future updates provided for this particular FOA.
