Bill > SF1458

This bill appropriates $250,000 from the workforce development fund in fiscal year 2026 to the commissioner of employment and economic development as a grant to the Northside Boxing Club. The grant is specifically aimed at providing youth with business and life skills through barbering mentorships and training. The club will select barbers to serve as positive role models who will teach core values like discipline, respect, and hard work. The program will focus on developing essential skills such as customer service, communication, money management, and professionalism. Additionally, Northside Boxing may use the funds to offer wraparound services like meals, nutrition education, homework help, and tutoring to help participants engage with and remain in the program. This is a one-time appropriation that will be available until June 30, 2027, and is designed to support youth workforce development through a unique mentorship and skills training approach.
