Performance Partnership Pilots for Disconnected Youth (P3)
Improving education, employment and other key outcomes for youth, especially low-income youth who are disconnected from work, school or other social supports,
is a key goal of the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
P3 enables state, local and tribal community pilot test sites to test innovative, outcome-focused strategies to achieve significant improvements in education, employment and other key outcomes for disconnected youth. The first set of pilots are testing flexibility with federal youth-serving funds in diverse environments across America. One pilot site is Broward County, FL.
To help prepare for the second P3 competition, the Department of Education has released a
Notice of Proposed Priorities
on behalf of participating agencies to seek ideas from the field on strengthening this important initiative and empowering communities to think big about reconnecting youth. This notice also provides a great overview of the proposed priorities and contact information for program representatives at the Department of Education.

Financial Stability for All Floridians - February 23, 2016 @ 10:00 a.m.
While e-government information often focuses on federal, state and county government services, non-profit organizations also serve the community in many of the same ways. The Florida Prosperity Partnership's vision is that ALL Floridians have equal opportunities to attain financial stability. To achieve this goal, they host prosperity town halls across the state and offer webinars on personal financial literacy and other topics.
In this webinar, Bill Mills, CEO of the Florida Prosperity Partnership, will give us an overview of the range of services that the FPP offers to Florida citizens.
