CSAC would like to share that the U.S. Department of Justice
(DOJ), Office of Justice Programs (OJP), Office of Juvenile
Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) is seeking
applications for funding to be used for the Youth Violence
Prevention Program. With this solicitation, OJJDP seeks to
provide funding for applicants to develop and/or enhance
strategies to prevent youth violence, including youth gang
involvement and youth gang/group violence. This solicitation is
focused on youth who are at risk of committing violence.
Strategies funded through this solicitation may work in
coordination with community violence intervention strategies that
target youth at the highest risk of violence, but the focus for
this solicitation is on delivering prevention and early
intervention services for at-risk youth. The solicitation closes
on June 26, 2023.
On May 18, 2023, at 11:00 a.m. OJJDP will hold a webinar to
provide a detailed overview of this opportunity. This webinar
will provide a general overview of the program, the goals and
objectives, a discussion about the application process, and a
Q&A opportunity for participants. Register here to
participate.
