Purpose: The US Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) invites applications for the Children, Youth, and Families at Risk (CYFAR) 4-H Military Partnership Professional Development and Technical Assistance Program (CMPC-PDTA). The purpose of CMPC-PDTA is to support the implementation and capacity of the 4-H Military Partnership and Outreach Support Program. Professional development and technical assistance are provided to the land-grant institutions and Cooperative Extension System, so that, in collaboration with other organizations, they are able to develop and deliver educational programs for military-connected youth. The educational programs are to equip military-connected youth in resiliency skills they need to lead positive, productive, and contributing lives. Military-connected youth are inherently at risk from a variety of factors that include: multiple and lengthy deployments by family members, relocation of the family, single partner households, lower income, and family members returning home who are wounded or do not return home. Note: Only new applications (defined as “a project application that has not been previously submitted to the CMPC-PDTA program”) are accepted.

 

Eligibility: Applications may only be submitted by Cooperative Extension.
