The Rural Health Service Corps, an Americorps program that works with community clinics and departments of health, has just approved funding for the region as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Young adults ages 18-25 can apply for positions that will support healthy communities via placements with organizations like the Broome County Department of Health, the Dr. G.A. Fattal Community Free Clinic, the Rural Health Network of South Central NY, Farm Catskills, and Headwaters Youth Conservation Corps. More on the story here.
The New York State Department of Labor is working to assist companies and organizations in need by committing $5 million to job training. Businesses will be able to get up to $50,000 to train workers through the "Building Skills in New York State" program. Nonprofit agencies with four or more employees are eligible for this program. July 20th is the deadline to apply for one of the training grants.
