The Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) awarded Caminar Latino Inc. a $1 million cooperative agreement on August 1, 2026, under the OVW Technical Assistance Initiative (CFDA 16.526). The award funds years one and two of a five-year competitive TA project running through July 31, 2028, and represents a continuation of prior award 15JOVW-23-GK-05156-MUMU.

Caminar Latino will continue the Responses to Inform Violence Education (THRIVE) project, delivering comprehensive training and technical assistance to OVW Children and Youth and Engaging Men (CYEM) program grantees. The organization will develop and revise resources, maintain the CYEM clearinghouse, and convene peer learning opportunities for CYEM grantees to support their implementation of projects addressing violence against women.

Work is performed in Atlanta, Georgia. The OVW Technical Assistance Initiative supports grantees, subgrantees, and potential grantees in developing and implementing successful state, local, tribal, and campus projects to increase victim safety and bolster offender accountability while building capacity within criminal and civil justice systems and victim service providers to respond effectively to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking.

The office on violence against women (OVW) training and technical assistance (TA) initiative provides OVW grantees, subgrantees, and potential grantees and subgrantees with the expertise and support they need to develop and implement successful state, local, tribal, and campus projects; increase victim safety; and bolster offender accountability. Through cooperative agreements, OVW supports educational programming and resources, conferences, peer-to-peer learning, and targeted assistance that allows current and potential grantees and subgrantees to learn from experts and one another about how to overcome obstacles and incorporate promising practices in their efforts to address violence against women. In addition, OVW is focused on building the capacity of the criminal and civil justice systems and victim service providers to respond effectively to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking and to foster partnerships between organizations that have not traditionally worked together to address violence against women. With FY 2025 TA initiative funding, caminar latino will continue the responses to inform violence education (THRIVE) project. The organization will develop and revise resources and provide comprehensive training and technical assistance to OVW children and youth and engaging men (CYEM) programs grantees, as well as maintain the CYEM clearinghouse and convene peer learning opportunities for CYEM grantees. This project supports FY 2025 TA initiative purpose area 29: training and technical assistance for the children and youth and engaging men program. This award is for years one and two of a five-year comprehensive TA project awarded competitively under the FY 2025 TA initiative notice of funding opportunity. This award is a continuation of 15JOVW-23-GK-05156-mumu.
