Description
The
Relationships, Education, Advancement, and Development for Youth for Life
(READY4Life) grants will be targeted exclusively to youth, for projects
designed to support healthy relationships and marriage, including the value of
marriage in future family formation and skills-based healthy relationship and
marriage education. Additionally, grants will support activities
including parenting (for young fathers and mothers, as applicable), financial
management, job and career advancement, and other activities. Projects must be
targeted to youth, specified as individuals in high school (grades 9-12), or
that are high-school aged or in late adolescence and early adulthood (ages 14
to 24). Applicants must submit proposals designed for youth as specified.
Applicants will be strongly encouraged to design programs targeted to one
specific program model for one specific service population – e.g., youth in
general high school settings, youth aging out of foster care, or youth who are
parents– but not multiple models for multiple populations. Grants awarded will
support family formation and strengthening activities through one or more of
three healthy marriage promotion activities specified under the authorizing
legislation: (1) marriage and relationship education/skills (MRES); (2)
education in high schools; and (3) public advertising campaigns. ACF is
interested in funding a diverse range of projects, from high impact projects,
to moderate scope projects, to smaller scope projects.
