The Westchester County Youth Bureau will continue and expand its professional development offerings to virtually support youth service agencies. In following with recommended social distancing measures, the Youth Bureau will partner with Alison Paul, President of Alison Paul Grant Writing and Consulting to offer a “Grant Writing Basics” webinar. The event will take place on Thursday, April 23 at 10 a.m. utilizing the Zoom video conferencing service. This webinar will be open to the public upon registering.

Executive Director Dr. DaMia Harris-Madden stated: “The Westchester County Youth Bureau has provided fund development opportunities to youth services providers since this administration’s inception. While we are doing business differently today, it is crucial, now more than ever, that we partner with and assist our partners in their efforts to secure funding and other important resources so that they may not only maintain much needed services, but also build their toolboxes in order to take advantage of current and future grant opportunities.”

Paul said: “Now is a good time to brush up on our grant writing skills to increase our ability to support the individuals our nonprofits serve. I hope to pass on some tips to help strengthen grant proposals in the upcoming workshop.”

Due to limited seating, there will be no more than two slots available for each agency. Please contact Kate Hubertus-Sugg  by e-mail at to register.
