The Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern Nevada (BGCSNV) has been awarded a $309,631 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance under the STOP School Violence Program (CFDA 16.839). The grant will fund the implementation of the Crisis Prevention Institute's Nonviolent Crisis Intervention (NCI) training program at Cactus Park Elementary School and BGCSNV facilities. The NCI training aims to equip educators and BGCSNV professionals with skills to effectively prevent and de-escalate medium to high-risk behaviors, including those driven by trauma and psychological influences. The training will be delivered through online modules and in-person certification programs. Cactus Park Elementary will contribute data on incident outcomes to assess the effectiveness of the NCI training in reducing the frequency and severity of violent incidents. Additionally, BGCSNV will hire a new CPI trainer to enhance training capacity and sustainability. The grant has a performance period from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2027.
