NWPA WIOA Youth Services

NWPA WIOA Youth Services Programmatic lead for the Northwest Workforce Innovation and Opportunities Area (WIOA). Deficient in basic skills; 2. A high school dropout; 3. Ages 5-18; and 3.

We currently serve Venango, Forest, Crawford, Warren, Clarion and Erie Counties working with youth between the ages of 14 and 24. VTDC has also received Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funding. TANF is given on a yearly basis and lead agencies are notified in June if they will receive funding for the next year. TANF monies are used for the mini grants, career day, supports and vario

us other proposals that we receive from partners. If there is an In School youth between the ages of 14 and 21, or an Out Of School youth between the ages of 16-24, meet income eligibility (70% of the poverty level) and are at least one of the following: 1. Homeless, runaway or foster child; 4. Pregnant or parenting; 5. An offender at any level of the justice system; or 6. An individual who requires additional assistance to complete an educational program, or to secure and hold employment. He or she may be eligible for the WIOA program. TANF eligibility is much easier than WIOA. TANF eligibility requirements are: 1. 235% of poverty level (free or reduced lunch or receiving public assistance); 2. Currently attending school.
