Agenda Item

Discuss, consider, and take appropriate action on accepting grant funding provided through the Capital Area Council of Governments (CAPCOG) for Juvenile Services.   

Background

Juvenile Services is requesting acceptance of $12,000 in grant funds provided through CAPCOG.  These funds will be used to contract with Catalyst Collective to operate The Purpose Project, an after-school mentoring program. Mentorship work will include working with youth to discover their identity through a guided workshop.  In addition, they will assist youth in identifying and engaging their SPARKS, connecting them to prosocial activities in the community, and supporting the youth with college preparatory work.  This is the third year of funding for this grant.  There is no county match required.  

Approval to apply for this funding was granted by Commissioners Court on 02/14/2023.
