Picente:
Youth Bureau Accepts Proposals to
Operate Programs
Oneida County Executive Anthony J. Picente Jr. today
announced that the Oneida County Youth Bureau is accepting proposals from
interested non-profit organizations that would like the opportunity to
provide youth-oriented programs that offer delinquency prevention,
recreation, and mentoring.
“The youth of our community are our future. It is important that we work
diligently to empower non-profit agencies to provide services that keep kids
off the streets and guide them in the direction of becoming responsible
adults” County Executive Picente said.
“Funds will be available through the New York State Office of Children and Family Services for agencies helping youth from birth through age 20,” said Social Services Commissioner Lucille Soldato, who is serving as interim Youth Bureau Director. “Programs run by non-profit agencies which focus on positive youth development are eligible to apply for funding.”
All
quality program proposals are welcome. Any non-profit organization
interested in applying for funds to provide opportunities for youth should
contact the Oneida County Youth Bureau at
