Subject areas: Appropriations; Budgeting; Nonprofit Corporations; Counties; Minors; Durham County; Orange County; Youth Programs

Purpose / Intent

HB 416 provides a one‑time, targeted state grant to support youth programming run by the Boys & Girls Clubs of Durham and Orange Counties. The intent is to fund delivery of a six‑part curriculum that addresses teen recruitment/retention, social‑emotional supports, leadership, trauma‑informed practice, cultural responsiveness, and college & career readiness.

Key provisions

  • Appropriation: Directs a nonrecurring appropriation of $30,000 from the North Carolina General Fund to the Office of State Budget and Management (OSBM) for the 2025–2026 fiscal year.
  • Grant: OSBM will provide a directed grant to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Durham and Orange Counties.
  • Authorized use: The grant must be used to offer the Clubs’ six‑part curriculum:
    1. Recruiting and Retaining Teens
    2. Emotional Safety
    3. Youth as Leaders
    4. Trauma‑Informed Practices
    5. Cultural Responsiveness and Inclusion
    6. College and Career Readiness
  • Effective date: The act becomes effective July 1, 2025.

Who is affected

  • Primary beneficiaries: Boys & Girls Clubs of Durham and Orange Counties and the youth they serve in the two counties.
  • State fiscal impact: One‑time reduction of $30,000 to the General Fund in FY 2025–26.
  • Local/partner impact: Intended to expand or support program delivery capacity at the two Clubs; no statutory changes to county responsibilities or ongoing state funding obligations.

Fiscal and implementation notes

  • Fiscal magnitude is small and nonrecurring ($30,000). The bill does not create a continuing funding obligation.
  • Administration: OSBM is the receiving agency and will direct the grant to the named nonprofit; the bill does not specify additional reporting, performance measures, or grant conditions beyond the authorized program use.
  • Program reach: The bill does not specify expected participant counts, per‑participant funding, or required evaluation—implementation details will be determined by the recipient organization.
