"Hello from Foróige New York! We are delighted to have 7 active Foroige clubs here, with 3 clubs in Yonkers and 4 clubs in Rockland - just a little bit outside of New York City. It looks like we’ll soon be expanding to more areas in New York city soon also.
The ETB club grant scheme
Could your club use up to €3,000 over the next year?
We strongly encourage all Foróige volunteer led clubs to apply for the ETB youth club grant scheme. This year the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Inclusion and Youth Affairs has allocated 2.25 million euro for clubs, to be distributed through the ETBs (Education and Training Boards). The maximum available per club is 3,000, though it may be less where an ETB has a lot of applications.
When and how can we apply?
