Bill > HF1267

This bill appropriates $250,000 from the workforce development fund to the Minnesota commissioner of employment and economic development, specifically designated as a grant for Northside Boxing Club in fiscal year 2026. The grant aims to provide youth with business and life skills training through mentorship and barbering instruction. The program will focus on developing essential skills like customer service, communication, money management, and professionalism, with an emphasis on using professional barbers as positive role models who can teach core values of discipline, respect, and hard work. The club may also use the funding to offer wraparound services such as meals, nutrition education, homework assistance, 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 specifically intended to support youth workforce and personal development through a structured, skills-based mentorship program.
