Gov. John Lynch this week encouraged businesses, nonprofits and municipalities to apply for $2.9 million in youth summer jobs grants being made available through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
The NH Workforce Opportunity Council has begun accepting requests for proposals from businesses, nonprofits and local communities. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis until the funds have been exhausted.
For more information regarding the youth employment grants, go to www.nhworks.org.
Information regarding grant funding, and other aspects of the federal stimulus package, can be found on the homepage Governor’s Office of Economic Stimulus at www.nh.gov/recovery.
It is important for our young people to get the skills and experience necessary to strengthen our workforce here in New Hampshire for the future. These grants will provide opportunities for many young people, can help communities meet critical needs and are another example of how we can use stimulus funds here in New Hampshire to create jobs and get people working. – Gov. Lynch
