Resource Associates’ grant writers secured $3.4 million for Colorado City Independent School District (TX) and $2.4 million for Putnam County Board of Education (GA). Only 24 Youth CareerConnect grants were awarded and Resource Associates wrote the applications for these two winning recipients.

The Youth CareerConnect grant program is designed to encourage America’s school districts, institutions of higher education, the workforce investment system, and their partners to scale up evidence-based high school models that will transform the high school experience for America’s youth. Youth CareerConnect schools will strengthen America’s talent pipeline.
