Orleans County is accepting applications for New York State Office of Children and Family Services grant funds related to Youth Development Programming (YDP), Youth Team Sports (YTS), and Youth Sports and Education Funding (YSEF). Funding for the new program year begins October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026.
Kelly Kiebala, Orleans County Youth Bureau Administrator, said there are separate applications and the required documents for each funding source which can be found on the Youth Bureau website, https://www.orleanscountyny.gov/departments/youth_bureau/index.php. Programming and/or services must be provided within Orleans County. Applications are due by Friday, September 26, 2025, to OrleansCountyYouthBureau@OrleansCountyNY.gov.
“We are hopeful that youth organizations will pursue these funds and proposers that may have never received funding through the Youth Bureau are encouraged to apply,” said Kiebala. “We appreciate the great work our youth organizations do to serve our youth and these funds are available to assist them in their programming.”
Those with questions may call 585-589-2767 or email OrleansCountyYouthBureau@orleanscountyny.gov.
