Month: December 2024

Tri-County United Way has announced the opening of new applications for new partner agencies to join its 2025 Community Investment Fund. 

The programs seeking funding must address the needs of individuals in one or more of Tri-County United Way’s key focus areas: youth (up to age 24), seniors, and those affected by mental health challenges across Warren, Washington, and Northern Saratoga Counties. 

Applicants must also serve Tri-County United Way’s ALICE (Asset-Limited, Income-Constrained, Employed) population—individuals who earn above the federal poverty level but below a sustainable wage. The Priority Area Screening Application is available on Tri-County United Way’s website at www.tricountyunitedway.org/priority-area-screening-application.

All Priority Area Screening Applications must be submitted via the Tri-County United Way website by January 10, 2025. Applicants must be 501(c)(3) organizations located within Northern Saratoga, Washington, and/or Warren counties and comply with all relevant federal, state, and local legal and operational requirements (including government-approved accounting practices, annual audits, 990 tax forms, and non-discrimination policies). Once an agency is screened and approved, they will be invited to submit a full Request for Proposal (RFP) for funding of up to $10,000. A maximum of three new agencies will be selected for funding in 2025.

Cold winter days are the perfect time to stay inside and improve your career skills, and the staff at Warren County Career Center and their Capital Region Career Centers partners have scheduled eight free online career skills workshops in December that offer the opportunity to do so. 

The staff at Warren County Department of Workforce Development/Career Center have worked with their counterparts around the Capital Region to put together easy-to-access workshops that assist job seekers in improving skills they can use to better their careers.

Workshops focus on use of social media effectively for career goals; resume development; overcoming barriers to employment; networking and completing job applications, and several other topics. Registration is required, but there is no fee. 

Upcoming workshops include:

Completing Job Applications, Thursday, December 19, 11 a.m.

Using Social Media, Tuesday, December 31, 1:30 p.m.
