Launched in 2005, Ready for Life is a collaborative cross-agency effort to improve Nevada's success at engaging and graduating "ready for life" students and reengaging those who prematurely left school. Convened by Nevada Public Education Foundation, dozens of public and private organizations are partnering in the belief that as they work together, students will be more likely to complete high school and gain postsecondary education or training to become productive, contributing members of society.
No grants are currently available. Applications will be added as they become available.
The Nevada Public Education is one that impacts everyone in the state of Nevada. All young people deserve the opportunity to earn a high school diploma, and it is our responsibility as a community to help Nevada youth become "ready for life."
Established in 1991, Nevada Public Education Foundation serves as a catalyst for quality education statewide and leverages resources and partnerships to help Nevada's youth become "ready for life" as well as re-engaging those who prematurely left school. As an intermediary organization, Nevada Public Education Foundation convenes local, regional and statewide organizations doing similar work to maximize resources and effort; seeks to consistently measure and improve programs and services; and organizes public and private support to sustain the work and ensure that young people receive the education and resources they need to become productive, contributing members of society.
