Bill > HF2623

This bill appropriates $1 million total ($500,000 in fiscal years 2026 and 2027) from the workforce development fund to the commissioner of employment and economic development, specifically to provide a grant to the Bolder Options Youth Mentoring Program. The funding is designed to support youth mentoring services for disadvantaged young people ages 12-22 in the Twin Cities and Rochester, Minnesota. The grant will support comprehensive programming that includes intensive one-to-one mentorship focused on wellness and goal setting, academic support, life and job-seeking skills training, career and college achievement coaching, and assistance in connecting youth to employment, job training, and educational opportunities. Importantly, this is designated as a onetime appropriation, meaning the funding is not expected to recur automatically in future budget cycles.
