The Relationships, Education, Advancement, Development for Youth for Life (READY4Life) program will provide funding for projects that offer comprehensive services that help youth build healthy relationship skills now and for the future (including dating, marriage, and co-parenting) while supporting positive socioemotional development and successful transitions to young adulthood. This includes healthy marriage and relationship education, parenting skills, and financial management and career advancement activities. The service audience is youth ages 14 to 24, including parenting and/or pregnant youth.
Additionally, projects are expected to include at least 12 hours of curriculum-based workshops and meet program participation targets. We are also interested in projects that implement one specific program model designed for a service population, such as youth in high schools, youth in out-of-school settings, or teen parents.
