Oh wait! These jobs are in Belize? --- The State Department through the U.S. Mission to Belize is planning to spend $500,000 to create jobs for youth in Belize. âMarginalized youth are empowered when given a voice and opportunities. Equipping marginalized youth and their communities with economic opportunities and/or business training can help them reach their true potential as entrepreneurs and improve citizen security,â the grant announcement said. The grant proposal seeks to âconfront the root causes of violence and crimeâ in Belize âin a creative and effective wayâ and âto create positive cultural and social conditions, which are the foundations of a peaceful and orderly society.â âRoot causes in Belize include, but are not limited to, the lack of economic development, the lack of skills and/or tradecraft, the lack of conflict resolution skills, and/or the lack of opportunity for youth,â the grant said. âUp to 10 grants will be awarded totaling, but not exceeding $500,000.â Applicants can apply for grants of at least $50,000 and up to $200,000. http://cnsnews.com/news/article/feds-spend-500k-job-creation-belize
