CONCORD —The New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services recently announced that funding is available to organizations offering summer and school-year programs geared toward middle and high school youth. As part of New Hampshire’s Invest in the Future Fund, the state will use $3.5 million in federal American Rescue Plan Act funds to support the Empowering Youth Program, which will provide programming for at-risk middle and high school students and focus on socio-emotional health and learning impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

“From the very beginning of this pandemic, the state has dedicated funds to help our at-risk youth through after-school and summer programming,” said Gov. Chris Sununu. “Over the last two years, this tremendous program has helped thousands of Granite State children, and we are excited to provide these great opportunities for another summer!”
