Notice of Funding Opportunity and Solicitation for Grant 
Applications (SGA) for Serving Young Adult Ex-Offenders Through 
Training and Service-Learning

AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration, Labor.

ACTION: Notice of Solicitation for Grant Applications (SGA).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Funding Opportunity Number: SGA/DFA PY 11-03.
SUMMARY: Through this notice, the Department of Labor's Employment and 
Training Administration (ETA) announces the availability of 
approximately $30 million to serve juvenile offenders ages 18-21 who 
have been involved in the juvenile justice system from the age of 14 or 
above and have never been convicted as an adult under Federal or State 
Law. ETA expects to award a minimum of 20 grants at various amounts up 
to $1.5 million each to cover a 30-month period that includes up to 
four months of planning and a minimum of 26 months of operation. Any 
non-profit organization with IRS 501(c)(3) status, unit of state or 
local government, or any Indian and Native American entity eligible for 
grants under WIA Section 166 may apply for these grants. Service-
learning projects conducted through these grants must integrate 
meaningful community service with instruction and reflection that 
enrich the learning experience, teach civic responsibility, and 
encourage lifelong civic engagement. Training provided through these 
grants is expected to lead to credentials recognized by in demand 
industries in the grantee's geographic area to be served.
    Through service-learning, returning offenders are offered the 
opportunity to reestablish community-based trust while enhancing their 
work-based skills and status in their communities.
    The complete SGA and any subsequent SGA amendments, in connection 
with this solicitation are described in further detail on ETA's Web 
site at http://www.doleta.gov/grants/ or on http://www.grants.gov. The 
Web sites provide application information, eligibility requirements, 
review and selection procedures and other program requirements 
governing this solicitation.

DATES: The closing date for receipt of applications is April 17, 2012.
