Overview
Youth Workforce Development 2.0 Initiative
More than 1/2 of all Illinois residents live in an area with a shortage of primary, dental, or mental health care providers. In response to the increase in children’s healthcare workforce shortages in Illinois, ILCHF is issuing the “YOUTH WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT 2.0 RFP” grant opportunity. This initiative seeks to provide grants of up to $20,000 each for nonprofit organizations with the capacity to support strategies that encourage children to potentially pursue a career path in the children’s oral health and/or behavioral health workforce, ensuring that “Every Child in Illinois Grows Up Healthy.”
Please note that this grant opportunity is only available to organizations located and/or operating in ILCHF’s Southwest Central and Northern Illinois funding regions.
