The Application Deadline is Approaching

Jobs for Youth There is less than a month remaining to apply for the Green Jobs for Youth Grant. The Green Jobs for Youth Grant is one of the many initiatives Governor Cuomo detailed in his 2017 State of the State to address environmental justice.

The purpose of the new funding is to help prepare young New Yorkers entering the workforce for emerging job opportunities in clean energy, construction of green infrastructure, and urban agriculture. Applications are due by 3PM on September 1, 2017.

More information can be found on our website: http://www.dec.ny.gov/public/31226.html. The Request for Applications and the application itself can be accessed on the New York State Grants Gateway. Go to Grants Gateway then either use the browse function and scroll until you see DEC's 2017 Environmental Justice Green Jobs for Youth in EJ Areas opportunity or use the search function and search for "green jobs."
