This NOFO is funded by a California Youth Service Corps (YSC) grant from California Volunteers. The City is seeking non-profit organizations and governmental entities to develop career pathways to paid internships for a minimum of five youth and young adults between the ages of 16-30 within the State’s YSC framework.  Program participants must earn at least $16.50 per hour and be employed a minimum of 50% full-time equivalent (FTE). Applicants must address how they will recruit participants and provide wraparound services, case management and training in alignment with the Authorized Activities specified below.  The program should be at least a three-month program but no longer than eight months.  The contracts will be up to 1 year and the City reserves the right to extend agreements another one-year term based on the Applicant’s performance and funding availability.

The City is seeking applications from non-profit community-based organizations (CBOs) and governmental entities to conduct a YSC Young Adult Work Experience Program.  There are two funding opportunities available under this NOFO.  Applicants can apply for an approximately eight-month program (end of March 2025 to end of November 2025) or for an approximately three-month summer program (June 2025 – August 2025).  For-profit entities are not eligible for YSC Grant funding.
