After working in the out-of-school time field for 11 years in the Pittsburgh, PA area, I’m excited for Pennsylvania’s BOOST Funding opportunity!

As the Founder & Executive Director of ELIE Circle, LLC, I am happy to offer support to applicants for three of BOOST’s Funding Priorities:

• Engaging prospective school-age youth participants and other stakeholders in the development and implementation of OST programming.
• Integrating trauma-informed approaches into the program curriculum and professional development curriculum of personnel who have regular contact with school-age youth.
• Seeking funding for programming providing learning and development opportunities that are evidence-informed, high-quality, and otherwise unavailable in the proposed service area, including programming that will fill a documented ‘gap’ or area of interest among youth (e.g., identified in a needs assessment, survey, etc.).

If you are interested in partnering to apply for BOOST funding, please click here for more information on how ELIE Circle, LLC can support and email Debralyn at [email protected].

Note: Proposals are due October 31, 2024 at 8:00pm.
