OJJDP FY 2022 Invited to Apply - Juvenile Justice and DelinquencyPrevention Act (JJDPA) Training and Technical Assistance Program
Note:
This awardee has received supplemental funding. This award detail page includes information about both the original award and supplemental awards.
The Coalition for Juvenile Justice (CJJ) proposes to deliver targeted training and technical assistance opportunities to ensure that states, territories, and tribal communities are supported in implementing the following strategies: compliance and best practice strategies to the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) four core protections; key updates and changes made to the Act and related federal guidance; strategies to maximize the utility and authority afforded to SAGs; opportunities to strengthen the three-year planning process and related youth serving systems of care; strategies to improve partnerships with youth and community, as established under the Act; and opportunities to create leadership pathways for young people, particularly those impacted by the system. CJJ is uniquely positioned to address these needs and provide the support reflected above. As a national coalition of State Advisory Groups (SAGs) allies, CJJ has a long history of partnering with SAG members and related Designated State Agencies. CJJ has built trust and maintains active relationships with Title II stakeholders, enabling CJJ to be a trusted partner in the delivery of specialized training and technical assistance that help states both come into compliance with the JJDPA and its core protections and benefit from the Act. CJJ and its staff also serve as leading experts on youth justice, with experience in providing training, implementing and managing Title II/JJDPA requirements, creating resources for SAGs, and partnering with emerging leaders.
Description
CJJ seeks to work in partnership with other participating entities to provide training and technical assistance to support States and Territories in their implementation of the Title II Part B Formula Grant program. In coordination with other providers, the Coalition for Juvenile Justice (CJJ) will offer States and Territories access to skilled, tailored, on-site and virtual support designed to strengthen their capacity to comply with the core protections afforded in the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (JJDP) Act, administer their Formula Grant awards and subawards, and strengthen their individual juvenile justice systems.
As part of this work, CJJ will develop a peer resource guide for SAGs, with a focus on youth membership. CJJ will also support the development and implementation of peer resource guides on understanding the requirements of the Title II, Part B, Formula Grants Program, the racial and ethnic disparities core requirement, and strategies for effective monitoring for compliance with the core requirements.
