Grant Overview
Priority Outcomes for Indiana's Empowerment Grants
The Empowerment Grants for Fostering Military-Youth Connections through 4-H program in Indiana is designed to bridge the gap between the military community and local youth. To achieve this goal, the Indiana State Department of Education and the Indiana 4-H program, in partnership with the Department of Agriculture, are focusing on specific priority outcomes that align with the state's needs and goals. One key partner in this effort is the Indiana National Guard, which has a strong presence in the state and a vested interest in supporting the military-connected youth population.
Fostering a Sense of Belonging among Military-Connected Youth
Indiana is home to a significant military population, with several major military installations, including the Crane Naval Warfare Center and the Indianapolis-based Fort Benjamin Harrison. The state's rural areas, such as those found in southern Indiana, also present unique challenges for military families who may feel disconnected from support services. By supporting projects that bring together military personnel and youth, the Empowerment Grants aim to foster a sense of belonging among military-connected youth, who often face unique challenges due to frequent relocation and parental deployment. The priority outcomes for this grant program include increasing the number of military-connected youth who participate in 4-H programs, improving the social-emotional well-being of military-connected youth, and enhancing the capacity of 4-H programs to support military-connected youth.
To achieve these outcomes, grantees will be expected to develop and implement innovative projects that bring together military personnel and youth, provide training and technical assistance to 4-H staff and volunteers on military cultural competency, and evaluate the effectiveness of their programs using data and metrics. For example, a grantee might develop a mentorship program that pairs military personnel with youth, or create a curriculum that teaches 4-H staff and volunteers about the unique challenges faced by military-connected youth. The state is also looking for projects that leverage resources and expertise from other organizations, such as the Indiana Department of Veterans' Affairs, to support military-connected youth and their families. By focusing on these priority outcomes, the Empowerment Grants program in Indiana can create a lasting impact and enrich the lives of both military personnel and young individuals across the state, from the urban areas of Indianapolis to the rural counties along the Ohio River.
As the program moves forward, it is expected that grantees will be required to report on their progress towards these priority outcomes, using metrics such as the number of military-connected youth served, the number of 4-H staff and volunteers trained, and the outcomes of program evaluations. By tracking these metrics, the state can assess the effectiveness of the Empowerment Grants program and make data-driven decisions about future funding and programming. With the support of the Department of Agriculture and other partners, the Indiana 4-H program is well-positioned to make a meaningful difference in the lives of military-connected youth and their families.

Q: How will the success of Empowerment Grants projects be measured in Indiana? A: The success of Empowerment Grants projects will be measured using metrics such as the number of military-connected youth served, the number of 4-H staff and volunteers trained, and the outcomes of program evaluations. Q: Are there any specific resources available to support grantees in Indiana? A: Yes, grantees will have access to technical assistance and support from the Indiana 4-H program and other state partners, including the Indiana Department of Veterans' Affairs, to help them achieve their project goals and meet the priority outcomes established for the Empowerment Grants program.
