Fairbanks Native Association Tribal Youth Case Management Continuation Project

The Coordinated Tribal Assistance Solicitation (CTAS) serves as a single solicitation for existing tribal government-specific grant programs administered by the Office of Justice Programs (OJP), the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) and the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). The CTAS solicitation is designed to assist tribes with addressing crime and public safety issues in a comprehensive manner. Under Purpose Area 9, Tribal Youth Program, OJJDP seeks to support and enhance tribal efforts to prevent and reduce juvenile delinquency and strengthen a fair and beneficial juvenile justice system response for American Indian and Alaska Native youth. The funding in this purpose area is made available to enable tribes to create, expand, or strengthen approaches along the juvenile justice continuum that can range from prevention to intervention and treatment. Under Category 2, funding supports tribes that propose to continue or enhance an existing OJJDP-funded youth program. Funding for this activity is intended for current grantees who have developed and are implementing a successful youth program that they would like to expand or extend.

The Fairbanks Native Association Youth Case Management Continuation Project will work with 85 Native youth in a school-based program to increase school graduation; improve social-emotional learning, school attendance, and social competence; and promote family engagement. Additionally, the program will promote cultural skill building. CA/NCF
