National Training and Technical Assistance

National Crittenton, the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges (subrecipient), the assessment team, and the core consultants of girl experts will provide training and technical assistance to grantees to strengthen the programs and supports available to girls and their families in communities that have been historically underserved. The training and technical assistance team will also integrate, support, and sustain meaningful youth and family partnerships by adding youth and families to the core experts’ team. National Crittenton and the OJJDP Girls training and technical assistance team will develop customized training and technical assistance plans for project sites for the provision of training and technical assistance, develop and host an annual meeting for all grantees, disseminate resources on girls, and provide other forms of training and technical assistance, including peer-to-peer learning opportunities and webinars. Additionally, due to the complexity of the drivers of girls into the juvenile justice system, National Crittenton will engage a broad array of stakeholders in its effort to create and sustain system and programmatic change.
