MEMORANDUM

Posted: September 14, 2021 09:11 AM
From: Representative Robert W. Mercuri
To: All House members
Subject: Pennsylvania Opportunity Pathways Program
 
In the coming days, I plan on introducing legislation to establish the Pennsylvania Opportunity Pathways Program.
 
The Opportunity Pathways Program will enable qualifying schools to apply for grants to fund mentorship programs that encourage students to pursue careers in public service, such as law enforcement, nursing, education, and legal careers. The grants, utilizing funds made available through the current EITC program, will focus on schools in need, as well as schools with students who are demographically underrepresented in various public service career fields.
 
Please join me in co-sponsoring this legislation to provide underrepresented students, and students from schools in need, the opportunity to launch careers that serve the public good and the citizens of our Commonwealth.   
 



Introduced as HB2176
