CLOSED: 2023-2025 Reengagement Collaborative Grant
REQUEST FOR APPLICATIONS
November 27, 2023 
Youth Development Oregon is excited to announce the OPENING of the Request for Applications (RFA) for the 2023-25 Reengagement Collaborative Grant (RCG). This grant will fund system-level change initiatives to support local youth reengagement and workforce opportunities, while strengthening Oregon's’ Statewide Youth Reengagement System.  
Grant funds are designed to support locally based system change efforts to remove barriers, provide opportunities, and increase access for eligible youth across a defined service area, while also supporting a larger zone-based collaborative network for reengaged youth. The ideal grantee will have broad local support for system change work across all youth systems, including education, and ability to convene and support larger collaborative efforts within the defined Reengagement Zone. System change efforts are required to connect community–based providers to support youth ages 14 – 24 who have left or are at risk of leaving school, without earning a high school diploma or GED credential, with their education and workforce success. 
Eligible applicants include all current 2023-2025 YDO Reengagement Opportunity, Future Ready Oregon, and Workforce Readiness grant awardees. Other interested organizations should review Section 1.3 “Eligibility” to determine eligibility as defined for this RFA.
