FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE TO HELP STUDENTS WITH COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH CAREER AND TECHNOLOGY PROGRAMS
Westmoreland Children First is a 501 (3) (c) non profit that was formed as an Advisory Board, for the sole purpose to assist children and youth up to age 21 under the care of Westmoreland County Children’s Bureau.
As one of our 2019 Initiatives, Westmoreland Children First received grant funds to start our Work Initiative Program. This program allows for payment of expenses directly associated with Career and Technology Programs. Any required supplies, materials, clothing can be used under this grant. We understand that some school districts offer assistance for this as well and that is fantastic! Our program is meant to supplement when no other resources are available.
This grant is available to youth under the care of Westmoreland County Children’s Bureau. Youth are eligible as long as they are currently under care for any services, including foster care. There is a simple one page application that needs to be completed. The student’s case workers will have the form as it requires the caseworker’s signature.
Funds are limited for this program, so encourage youth to apply early. Please submit the application below to: westmorelandchildrenfirst@gmail.com
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Stacey Winfield, Treasurer of Westmoreland Children First at 412-916-9692 and she will be happy to answer any questions.
