West Phila. Empowerment Zone seeks workforce projects

The Philadelphia Department of Commerce and the West Philadelphia Empowerment Zone’s Community Trust Board is accepting proposals for the WPEZ’s  Neighborhood Funding Stream Program.

The WPEZ Neighborhood Funding Stream Program will award grants to projects in which a modest grant can make a noticeable difference in the community. During this grant cycle (starting July 2, 2012 and ending June 30, 2013), one annual grant of up to $100,000 will be awarded to a selected organization to link residents of the West Philadelphia Empowerment Zone aged 18-35 to job-readiness and life-skills training.

The goal of funded activities will be to attract WPEZ residents in need of job readiness and life skills training in order to successful gain entry level employment opportunities that are available at the Park West Town Center and other local employers.
