What is the NFJP PathStone Grant?
The National Farmworker Jobs Program (NFJP) PathStone Grant provides opportunities to individuals working in the agricultural sector who hope to gain access to services that provide them with further skills training and licensing, educational services, and any other career-development services, according to a news release from the nonprofit.
Funding also is available through the grant for dependents of individuals who qualify for this opportunity. The grant can provide dependents of eligible individuals with a similar variety of opportunities, ranging from career-development services to assistance with funding for educational opportunities.
