<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:13.0pt">The mission of the CYFAR Grant Program is to marshal resources of the Land-Grant and Cooperative Extension Systems so that, in collaboration with other organizations, they can develop and deliver educational
programs that equip youth who are at risk for not meeting basic human needs with the skills they need to lead positive, productive, contributing lives. The CYFAR philosophy (<a href="http://www.nifa.usda.gov/resource/cyfar-philosophy">http://www.nifa.usda.gov/resource/cyfar-philosophy</a>
) is the basis for the Sustainable Community Project (SCP) grant program. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
