County Block Grants for youth development have been very important in helping youth develop and avoid instances with the criminal justice system. I have been supportive of increasing this funding from $200,000 that it was for many years to the proposed $300,000 for this coming fiscal year. The needs for youth development programming keep growing each and every year.
Immediate Release
County to offer youth development grants to nonprofits

Up to $300,000 will be awarded to non- profit organizations providing evidence-based and trauma-informed youth development and delinquency prevention services to Johnson County youth 10 to 18 years of age. Successful bidders will receive an annual contract with the option of two additional renewals, contingent on the availability of funding and successful progress toward scope of services and performance measures.
