Safe Summer Initiative Grant 2021

Funding opportunity for organizations offering educational and recreational services to youth

SAN JOSE, Calif. (January 19, 2021) The City of San José's Department of Parks, Recreation and Neighborhood Services (PRNS) is now accepting applications for the Safe Summer Initiative Grant (SSIG) for summer 2021.

The SSIG program aims to provide and enhance recreational or educational opportunities for youth not normally available to the Mayor's Gang Prevention Task Force target population during the summer months. This provides youth a safe environment while keeping them active and engaged in positive activities.

"The Safe Summer initiative provides vital aid to programs that support youth in our community," said Andrea Flores Shelton, Interim Deputy Director for Recreation and Neighborhood Services. "Due to the pandemic, this year's program is especially crucial to ensure that those in need of educational or recreational support, or simply a safe space, are provided with those resources."
