Services
The Tribal Youth Resource Center provides TTA to OJJDP JHWC and TYP grantees to strengthen their capacity to plan, implement, evaluate, and sustain prevention, intervention, reentry, and treatment programs that promote positive outcomes for Tribal youth. The Tribal Youth Resource Center provides TTA to increase Tribal communities' skills and knowledge about programs and strategies, building capacity to develop effective and sustainable programs for reducing juvenile crime and increasing youth potential in Tribal communities.
We invite all OJJDP Tribal grantees and interested federally recognized Tribes to submit a request for individualized TTA as needed. Our team offers a range of training to support knowledge and development and skill-building to support youth prevention and intervention initiatives. We also assist communities as they work to implement and enhance program delivery and impact long-term change and addressing emerging issues. Our team of professionals look forward to providing you one-on-one, specifically tailored TTA. These interactions may occur through videoconference, teleconference, email, postal mail, and in some instances, on-site support.
The Tribal Youth Resource Center supports and provides TTA to OJJDP JHWC and TYP grantees from strategic planning through the implementation of prevention and diversion programs that embody local values, culture, tradition, and positive youth development strategies through which communities are etching new paths for their Indigenous youth. We support these efforts toward healing, opportunity, and changing the narrative for American Indian and Alaska Native Youth.
As part of the dialogue to address issues and provide resources to support tribal, state and federal collaboration in juvenile justice systems, we have partnered with The Center for Coordinated Assistance to States (CCAS) at the American Institutes for Research. Through this partnership, we can utilize existing knowledge and provide guidance, strategies and best practices to promote positive and beneficial relationships between Tribal Nations, states and federal agencies.
We currently provide TTA to 84 OJJDP JHWC and TYP grantees through email, virtual meetings and in-person as well as serving other Native communities and Nations.
