Grant Overview
Connecticut's urban schools face significant challenges in engaging youth in education and career development, with high dropout rates and limited job opportunities. The Collaboration for Urban Youth Engagement initiative funds collaborative projects between urban schools and local businesses to create mentorship programs and skill-building workshops. Unlike neighboring states, Connecticut's high cost of living and dense urban population require targeted solutions to address youth disengagement. Eligible applicants include urban school districts, local businesses, and community organizations. The funding supports the development of mentorship programs, career exploration activities, and skill-building workshops. The program prioritizes schools with high rates of student disengagement and limited resources, such as Hartford and New Haven. Connecticut's diverse population, with significant racial and ethnic disparities in education outcomes, demands culturally responsive programming. The state's economic landscape, with major industries in finance and healthcare, also influences career development opportunities. By fostering partnerships between schools and businesses, the program aims to improve student engagement and career readiness. Key regions targeted by the program include the urban areas of Bridgeport and Stamford. The program's success will depend on effective collaboration between schools, businesses, and community organizations.
