## Objectives

Grant funds will be used to equip low-income youth with the education and employment skills necessary to achieve economic self-sufficiency. Program services include post-secondary education and training opportunities, including apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship; opportunities for meaningful work and service to their communities; and opportunities to develop employment and leadership skills and a commitment to community development.
