Bill > SF2874

This bill appropriates a total of $900,000 ($450,000 in each of fiscal years 2026 and 2027) from the state's general fund to the commissioner of employment and economic development, specifically designated as a grant to the YMCA of the North. The grant funding is intended to support workforce development initiatives, including career exploration, job training, and a workforce development partnership with Beacons community college, with a particular focus on providing services to underserved youth and young adults. The bill explicitly notes that this is a one-time appropriation, meaning the funding is not guaranteed to continue beyond these two fiscal years. By targeting workforce development services for younger populations who may face barriers to employment, the bill aims to help improve job skills, career opportunities, and economic mobility for a potentially disadvantaged segment of the workforce.
