Background/Purpose
Over two years ago, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts began a process to examine ways to improve
service delivery for at-risk youth by convening regional and local partners from key stakeholder
agencies and organizations. This process is called Pathways to Success by 21 (P21). Both regional and
state partners agreed: youth serving agencies needed to design strategies to support youth across
transitions and build the capacity of existing services to better meet the needs of youth. To that end, the
Department of Workforce Development awarded planning grants to the regional workforce areas to
support the development of regional Strategic Action Plans. The goal of each strategic plan was to bring
together representatives of the relevant youth serving agencies in the region to define three to five
strategies to increase the region’s capacity to meet the needs of at-risk youth. Each Workforce
Investment Board and its Youth Council facilitated an in-depth process with multiple stakeholders that
resulted in a Regional Strategic Action Plan that articulates how they will work together to serve their
most at-risk youth. The information from all of the plans was used by P21’s state-level Steering
Committee to inform the State’s Strategic Action Plan, and to develop a set of organizing principles for
future activity.
The next step in the P21 process is to distribute additional resources to the 16 regional P21 Teams to
support the implementation of the strategies identified through the regional Strategic Action Plans. The
Department of Workforce Development (DWD) and the Department of Education (DOE) brought
together Workforce Investment Act funding and United States Department of Labor Employment and
Training Administration resources through a state Incentive Award to Massachusetts to support
Regional Implementation Grants. The state partners of P21 invite one application from each of the 16
geographic workforce areas in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, to undertake implementation
activities under the umbrella of the Commonwealth’s Pathways to Success by 21 (P21) initiative. All
applications should be submitted to Commonwealth Corporation, the grant administrator.
Mission & Goals of the P21 Initiative
The mission of P21 is to improve the capacity of the Commonwealth’s youth learning system to
effectively and efficiently support the needs of at-risk youth in order to improve education and
employment outcomes. The Commonwealth will increase the percentage of at-risk youth succeeding in
secondary school, postsecondary education and training, and the labor market by:

developing strategies to better assist at-risk minority, low income, foster youth, court involved
youth, and disabled youth transition to adulthood

identifying strategies to re-align state and local resources and programs to more effectively serve
at-risk youth

creating new investments from public and private sources in services and strategies that serve atrisk youth

creating policies that ensure that the state and local commitment to prepare at-risk youth for postsecondary and employment options is effectively coordinated from the youth to the adult
systems.

Funding Opportunity
The P21 Initiative is currently moving from a planning to an action phase. Of the many interventions
planned at the state and regional level, some are large in scope and require involvement by multiple
partners. Other next steps are smaller in scope, serving as a mini-bridge within the larger system.
Although some partnership and collaboration can occur without the need for new resources, many next
steps at both the regional and state level require additional funding, and/or a change in how existing
dollars are spent to be successful.
Funding through this application will provide P21 Regional Teams with the opportunity to implement
priority strategies from their Strategic Action Plans. The Department of Workforce Development has
made $20,000 available to each Regional Team to implement one or more of their P21 strategies. In
addition, the DWD and the DOE agreed to disseminate USDOL-ETA Incentive Funding1 - currently
available to Massachusetts as a result of meeting WIA Title I and Title II and Perkins Vocational and
Technical Education Act performance measures - through a common strategy that supports the P21
Organizing Principles and actively engages representatives of each funding source. Representatives
from the Department of Education funded Adult Basic Education (ABE) providers (see Attachment I),
Public Two Year Colleges with a Perkins Act Local Plan in your region (see Attachment J), Workforce
Investment Boards/Youth Councils, and One-Stop Career Centers, must be involved when designing the
use of these funds. Up to $40,000 is available to each P21 Regional Team to expand existing regional
capacity to serve out-of-school youth by a) increasing slots for out-of-school youth in existing programs
and b) engaging in sustainable system-building activities with the above-mentioned partners.
This application process is an umbrella application with multiple options for regions. Each area can
choose to apply for up to $20,000 in funding to implement P21 strategies (referred to as Resource A
under section “Use of Funds”) and/or up to $40,000 to creatively expand existing services for out-ofschool youth (referred to as Resource B under section “Use of Funds”). If applying for both sources,
we encourage an integrated approach. Resources must be spent by March 31, 2008.
The resources made available through this umbrella application are one-time resources. Please keep this
in mind if your region is considering using the funds to hire new staff and/or create new programming.
The application submitted by a region must be designed and agreed to by the regional P21 teams (see
Attachment F). If your P21 Team is applying for Resource B (Incentive funding) and does not currently
have representation from the WIA Title II DOE-funded Adult Education providers (Attachment I, K),
the Perkins Act Postsecondary Local Plan career/vocational technical education providers (Attachment
J), and the One-Stop Career Centers, P21 teams must reach out and engage these partners in the
planning process.
USDOL-ETA Incentive Funding is made available to states that “pass” federal performance standards for the Workforce
Investment Act, Perkins Act and Adult Education in a fiscal year.

Application Content
The focus of the Application and use of funding should be consistent with P21’s mission, goals, and
organizing principles (see Attachment D). Each region should work with its P21 team to determine how
to best pursue resources and develop an application. Regions should follow the Narrative Questions as a
guide to describe the implementation activities, timeline, grant oversight, and grant amount and budget
agreed to by the P21 team. It is expected that each P21 Team will review the material in Attachment D
and E, which provides an overview of the statewide P21 Organizing Principles that emerged from an
analysis of the work of the 16 regions. The P21 Organizing Principles summarize the critical elements
to effective youth-serving models identified by regional and state partners. State partners intend to use
the resources under this application process to encourage regions to strengthen existing youth models
using these elements. Therefore, the review panel will be looking for clear connections to the P-21
Organizing Principles when reading the applications.
Use of Funds
Resource A: Flexible P21 Implementation Resources
Description. The Department of Workforce Development reserved $20,000 per workforce investment
area from the WIA Title I Governor’s Discretionary funding to be awarded to eligible P21 teams to
implement one or more of the strategies articulated by a region in its P21 Strategic Action Plan.
Amount Available and Eligibility for Grant Award. Grants up to $20,000 per region are available to
regions that have submitted an approved P21 Strategic Action Plan or a Youth Transition Funders Group
Plan.
Program Requirements:

The Implementation Plan must:
o support one or more of a region’s P21 Strategies and
o support the P21 Organizing Principles and
o identify a clear implementation plan and
o include results-oriented outcomes.

Regional P21 Team members must agree to chosen priorities. Regional P21 Teams are
encouraged to have representatives from each of the P21 partner agencies (see page 2).

No more than 5 percent of funds can be used for administrative purposes as defined by the
Workforce Investment Act.
6
Resource B: WIA Performance Incentive Grants
Description. Resources through the state’s Incentive Funding are available through this umbrella
application. These resources must be used to strengthen program linkages/services on behalf of the
academic, employment skill development, youth development, job placement and post-employment
support needs of out-of-school youth aged 18-24. Regional P21 Strategic Action Plans articulated a
need for additional resources to support career and vocational technical education, basic skills and GED
attainment, occupational skill training, and intensive case management -- especially for out-of-school
youth. The P21 state team recognizes a critical need to increase the ability of DOE-funded adult basic
education providers (25 percent of whose service population is older youth), Perkins Act Postsecondary
Local Plan career/vocational technical education providers (including public two-year colleges and
vocational technical schools), Workforce Investment Boards/Youth Councils, and One-Stop Career
Centers to serve out-of-school youth. Regions can access up to $40,000 to support service delivery and
sustainable system building between these four partners.
Other program resources already serve this target population: local formula funds in the youth
components of the Workforce Investment Act, resources coordinated through the One-Stop Career
Center system, WIA adult formula funds, state and federal resources available through the DOE-funded
Adult Basic Education system, and programs funded through the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and
Technical Education Act. In addition to expanding seat capacity at these programs, applications should
include system-building activities that connect these resources where possible.
Amount Available and Eligibility for Grant Award. Grants up to $40,000 are available per
workforce investment area. Applications must be submitted by the Local Workforce Investment Board
on behalf of the regional P21 team and must have active participation and representation from WIA Title
II (DOE-funded Adult Basic Education), Perkins Act post-secondary career/vocational technical
education providers (see attachments), One-Stop Career Centers, and Workforce Investment
Boards/Youth Councils. Massachusetts earned these funds by meeting performance standards within the
WIA Title I, WIA Title II (Adult Basic Education), and Perkins Act program areas in federal program
year 2004. No more than 5 percent of funds can be used for administrative purposes as defined by the
Workforce Investment Act.
Program Requirements. In order to access this resource, an application must be approved in writing by
the four principal program partners responsible for earning the incentive award: the local Workforce
Investment Board, the local One-Stop Career Center/Title I Administrator, DOE’s Adult Basic
Education’s regional representative, and a representative of a Perkins Act Postsecondary Local Plan
career/vocational technical education provider within the region. While it is not mandatory that funds be
allotted for any of these partners in particular, applications must specify how each of these partners will
benefit from your region’s proposed design. Contact information for these representatives can be found
in Attachments I and J of this application.

Grant funds may be used to:
•
increase services at One-Stop Career Centers for out-of-school youth enrolled in DOE-funded
ABE programs
•
increase access to DOE-funded ABE programs and career/vocational technical education
programs for out-of-school youth
•
increase “seat” capacity of DOE-funded ABE services and career/vocational technical education
for out-of-school youth
•
support stronger case management for out-of-school youth in existing adult education and
career/vocational technical education programs
•
expand regional capacity to coordinate, case manage and refer out-of-school youth who
participate in ABE, career/vocational technical education or One-Stop Career Center services to
community resources
•
enhance services in DOE-funded ABE programs and career/vocational technical education
programs by developing and using curriculum that is relevant to and appropriate for out-ofschool youth.
Service strategies should emphasize educational skills, including literacy, English for speakers of other
languages (ESOL), numeracy skills, or career/vocational technical education. Local programs should
provide active case management of participants through the One-Stop Career Centers. Case managers
can help broker and connect youth through a variety of service providers, help counsel youth on
available service options and career decisions, and help participants overcome other life barriers. We
encourage regions to serve youth from a variety of cultural and linguistic backgrounds, and to build upon
existing networks of local community service providers.
Youth who are served in a DOE-funded ABE program should be tracked using the SMARTT system;
youth who are served in a One-Stop Career Center and/or through an approved WIA youth vendor
should be tracked using the MOSES system. All funds awarded through this application are federal
Workforce Investment Act funds and are subject to all requirements contained in relevant OMB
circulars. Since LWIBs are the only grantees permitted in this solicitation, the fiscal agents for LWIBs
are already aware of these OMB and U.S. Department of Labor requirements. Fiscal agents may contact
CommCorp for further explanation or additional information if these requirements are not familiar.
Staff of Commonwealth Corporation will provide technical assistance to teams.
8
Eligible Applicants
CommCorp will accept only one application per region. We are asking that a region’s Workforce
Investment Board apply on behalf of their P21 Team. The fiscal agent must be fiscally certified by the
Department of Workforce Development’s Division of Career Services to manage Workforce Investment
Act funding.

Resource A is available to each region that has submitted an approved P21 Strategic Action Plan.

Resource B is available to the P21 Team with active participation, design and approval of use of
funds by the Local Workforce Investment Board, One-Stop Career Center, the WIA Title II
(DOE-funded Adult Basic Education) and Perkins Act post-secondary career/vocational
technical education providers. See Attachments I and J for WIA Title II contact information.
Reporting Requirements (Resource A and B)
Each P21 Team will be required to provide quarterly reports that detail progress made in their
implementation plan. It is imperative that each implementation plan has clear benchmarks and success
indicators. Resource B recipients are required to use either SMARTT ABE (System for Managing
Accountability and Results through Technology for ABE) or MOSES (Massachusetts One-Stop
Employment System) to track the progress and outcomes of participating youth. These databases will be
used to supplement quarterly narrative reports of grant progress.
Required Application Contents

Cover sheet – Use the cover sheet form supplied (Attachment A) in this application to identify
the fiscal contact for your application.

Implementation Plan – Each plan should be in the form of a written narrative guided by the
narrative questions (see below) that consists of no more than five (5) pages of double-spaced
text, with one inch margins, using a 12 point font, plus a completed implementation matrix (see
Attachment B). Your application narrative must include a specific description of your planned
activities as well as an identification of your anticipated performance outcomes. If regions want
to use Resource A and B for the same purpose, the Implementation Plan and application
narrative must meet the partnership requirements and use of funds for Resource A and B. Thus,
regions can submit one integrated application (i.e. one set of narrative questions and budget). If
regions want to use Resource A and B for different purposes, please submit an Implementation
Plan with two distinct sections using the narrative questions to describe the planned activities and
outcomes.
9
NARRATIVE QUESTIONS (Resource A or B)

Please specify the strategy or strategies that your P21 Team has chosen to implement from
your Strategic Action Plan. How will the P21 Team implement the strategy? If your
implementation plan is the result of work beyond the submission of your plan, please explain.
o If your region discussed serving multiple at-risk youth populations in your plan,
please specify your target population in your application.

Data & Measurement – What are your success indicators? What are the expected
quantitative and qualitative outcomes for youth as a result of your implementation plan?
What data will you use to measure success?

System building – How will your implementation plan enhance your region's system of
delivering services to at-risk youth?

Sustainability – What are the proposed benefits of your implementation plan to this system
beyond the period of the grant?

P21 Team membership – Does your P21 Team have representatives from each of the P21
Partner agencies (see pg. 2)? If not, what is your region's plan to involve them? Would your
region like assistance from the state in facilitating a partnership between your team and
agency x at the regional level?

Implementation Matrix – The end date for all implementation plans can be no later than March
31, 2008. Each application should include the anticipated dates for key project milestones and
program expenditures in their Implementation Matrix (see Attachment B).

Planning Team Roster – Use Attachment F to list all planning team members. We understand
that there may have been changes to your P21 Team since you submitted your Strategic Action
Plan. This list will represent your most current Team with additions, if necessary, of Title II and
Perkins Postsecondary Local Plan Career/Vocational Technical Education representatives. Due
to the logistical difficulty in getting signatures from all team members, this list will also
represent all those who have ‘signed off’ on your application.

Assurances Page (Resource B only) – If you are applying for Resource B (WIA incentive
funds), you must also submit an assurance page (Attachment G) that includes the signatures of
the LWIB chair, a representative of the region’s One-Stop Career Center, and the designated
regional representatives for ABE and Perkins.
