Grant Overview
Ohio's youth workforce development faces capacity gaps in civic engagement and leadership skills, particularly in urban areas like Cleveland and Cincinnati. According to the Ohio Department of Youth Services, 70% of youth in detention facilities lack civic engagement and community participation experience. This gap affects their ability to take active roles in their communities. The Ohio initiative will create a running program that promotes civic engagement among youth, with a focus on leadership development and community participation. Eligible applicants include schools, community-based organizations, and non-profits with experience in youth development. Ohio's program will provide training and running gear to participants, aiming for measurable outcomes in both physical health and community participation. Unlike Michigan's approach, Ohio's program emphasizes civic engagement through community running events. Ohio's diverse urban landscape, with cities like Columbus and Toledo, requires tailored approaches to youth development. ## Ohio's Civic Engagement Landscape The state's urban areas have a high concentration of youth organizations, but lack resources for civic engagement programs. Ohio's rural areas, on the other hand, have limited access to youth services, making it difficult to reach underserved populations. ## Building Capacity in Ohio's Youth Workforce Ohio's initiative will focus on building the capacity of youth organizations to deliver civic engagement programs. By providing training and resources, the state aims to empower youth to take active roles in their communities. ## Ohio's Approach to Youth Civic Engagement The state's approach emphasizes community participation and leadership development through running programs. By organizing community running events, Ohio aims to achieve measurable outcomes in civic engagement and community connections among its youth.
