Request For Proposals  |  YOUTHROC 2009-2010

The devastation brought on by Hurricane Katrina created an enormous need for community redevelopment, especially with regard to disadvantaged youth. To fill this need, the US Department of Labor furnished the NEG (National Emergency Grant) for the purpose of undertaking a large youth-development effort in Region 1. With JOB1 as the fiscal agent, Region 1 began spending fifteen million dollars to employ, train, and re-engage at least twelve hundred young people in funded projects. Young participants have been directly involved in construction efforts, green-jobs training, improving literacy/numeracy, GED attainment, teamwork lessons, and improving job readiness.

OPERATION YOUTH WORK 2009 SUMMER PROGRAMS FEDERAL ECONOMIC STIMULUS FUNDS MAYOR’S SUMMER YOUTH EMPLOYMENT FUNDS

On February 17, 2009, President Obama signed into law the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, ARRA (H.R.1), commonly referred to as the “stimulus package.” The Bill provides dedicated funding for Training and Employment Services, explicitly including grants to states for youth activities, including summer jobs. States and localities are encouraged to use as much of these funds as possible to operate expanded summer youth employment opportunities during the summer of 2009 and provide as many youth as possible with career exploration and summer employment opportunities.

Youth Training Opportunities



The Youth Career Development Project (YCDP) is a massive undertaking designed to enhance job and life skills of 1100 youth in this region.  It will also provide a significant boost to their education.  Functioning as a hurricane-recovery effort, this project will assist in rebuilding several communities in the Greater New Orleans area. 

Two proven national organizations, YouthBuild and CorpsNetwork, will help lead the way by engaging employers, teachers, counselors, construction managers, and supervisors—so that our young people will have solid, meaningful employment and a future to build on.  YouthBuild and CorpsNetwork will take steps to get court-involved youth back on the right track and ready for the job market.
