OSWEGO COUNTY – The Oswego City-County Youth Bureau is now accepting applications from community based not-for-profit organizations for youth development programs in 2025. Funds will be awarded for nine months, beginning Jan. 1, 2025.
“These funds are provided by the Oswego City-County Youth Bureau and the New York State Office of Children and Family Services,” said Oswego County Youth Bureau Executive Director Brian Chetney. “The Youth Bureau board of directors will review and evaluate each proposal for cost effectiveness, impact, measurable outcomes and to ensure a large cross-section of youth are served from different age groups and geographic areas in Oswego County.”
A one-page summary must be submitted to the Youth Bureau by Friday, July 12 and full proposal due by Friday, Sept. 6. All applicants will be required to meet with youth bureau staff once their one-page summary is received. Funding decisions and awards will be based on New York State guidelines.
The Oswego City-County Youth Bureau supports youth development and prevention as an ongoing process in which children and adolescents seek ways to build life skills and abilities that allow them to be successful. The end product of a strong youth development system is timely high school graduation, career and job readiness, strong civic-minded young people and the ability to overcome involvement with the juvenile delinquency system.
