The Department of Labor’s Employment and Training Administration (ETA) is offering approximately $20 million in Civic Justice Corps Grants. These grants aim to serve juvenile offenders aged 18 to 24 who have engaged with the justice system in the past year. Projects funded will provide young offenders opportunities to contribute to their communities through service, addressing past transgressions. The initiative seeks to significantly reduce recidivism rates by enhancing participants’ vocational and educational skills, improving their labor market prospects, and fostering a stronger sense of community responsibility. This is a competitive grant process, with ETA intending to award at least 13 grants. Individual proposals can request up to $1.5 million for a 30-month performance period, including planning and operational phases.
