Data and Funding

The Guide to Federal Resources for Youth Development

The Federal government offers literally billions of dollars to communities across the Nation to help young people reach their full potential. This Guide provides information on more than 100 priority programs that are available to communities and directly related to the five core resources of youth development.

The Guide to Federal Resources for Youth Development was compiled by America's Promise Alliance to provide information on Federal Funds available to support youth programs. Each program is listed by the department that operates the program, and cross-references are made to one or more of the five core resources.
