SBS WorkForce grant application

A successful application will help AfCoFo expand workforce development and entrepreneurship supports for African immigrants in NYC by funding job training, placement, and resource connections. Volunteers will directly enable pathways to employment and greater economic mobility for community members.

We have identified the SBS WorkForce opportunity and will provide program descriptions and a primary staff contact. Volunteers will collaborate with our team to review drafts, refine language, and prepare final submission; fuller details and materials will be provided during onboarding.
