Bill > HF2342

This bill provides a state grant of $1,500,000 for each of fiscal years 2026 and 2027 to the Minnesota Alliance of Boys and Girls Clubs specifically for academic assistance programs. The grant money must be used to support youth academic improvement through various initiatives such as homework help, tutoring, personalized learning pathways (like the Exact Path program), literacy and STEM activities, mentorship programs, and strategies to improve school attendance. The programs are intended to create a safe, supportive environment for youth who need the most academic support. To receive the grant, the organization must secure a 25 percent match from non-state funding sources. The bill emphasizes that the Boys and Girls Clubs should work to strengthen partnerships with schools to maximize the impact of these academic assistance programs. Any unspent funds from fiscal year 2026 will be available in fiscal year 2027, and the base appropriation for fiscal year 2028 will be $0, effectively making this a two-year grant program.
