As the year ends, it is a great time to reflect back on accomplishments made in the last year, provide updates, and reaffirm commitments for the new year.

HOYC Newsletter – VOL 1 ISSUE 1 – 2014 12-December

Jobs for the Future (JFF), in partnership with the Aspen Institute Forum for Community Solutions Opportunity Youth Incentive Fund (OYIF), released a Notice of Funding Opportunity inviting communities using a collective impact approach to improve outcomes for opportunity youth to apply for funding to implement Back on Track pathways for these youth. By March 2015, JFF/Aspen will select up to twelve communities to receive between $175,000 and $300,000 per year over at least three years, with the potential for continuation funding for an additional two years; the grants will require a 1:1 philanthropic match at the local level.

This funding opportunity is made possible through a grant to JFF/Aspen from the Social Innovation Fund (SIF), a key White House initiative and program of the Corporation for National and Community Service.

Details about the funding opportunity can be found here.
