The Department of Justice's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) awarded a $6,305,000 Cooperative Agreement to the Tribal Law and Policy Institute to continue operating the Tribal Youth Resource Center. The goal of the Tribal Youth Resource Center is to support and enhance tribal efforts through comprehensive, culturally responsive national training and technical assistance to prevent, reduce, and respond to youth delinquency and strengthen fair and beneficial responses for American Indian/Alaska Native youth. Key activities include providing on-site and virtual training, resource development, website maintenance, inter-tribal working groups, technical assistance for code and policy development, and coordination with federal agencies and partner organizations. The award is funded through the Tribal Youth Program (CFDA 16.731), which aims to support tribes in developing, enhancing, and maintaining comprehensive juvenile justice systems and youth services. The project period runs from Oct 1, 2024 to Sep 30, 2028. The Tribal Law and Policy Institute will also serve as a sub-awardee for related child welfare initiatives with partners such as the University of Connecticut, University of Maryland, Denver University, and Fox Valley Technical College.
