D. Eligible Participants

1. Participants Eligible to Receive Services

An individual may participate in a project funded under these grants if they:

• Are at least age 16 years of age and no older than 24 years of age on the date of enrollment

• Are currently involved or have been involved with the juvenile justice system within 12 months before enrollment, which includes those:

o under the supervision of the juvenile justice system either in out-of-home placements or on probation or parole;

o under an alternative sentence by the juvenile justice system; or o under a diversion program as an alternative to juvenile prosecution by the juvenile justice system.

• It is the purpose of this grant to serve youth that have been involved with the juvenile justice system. However, given this is a multi-state project, ETA recognizes that states vary in the age in which youth fall under the jurisdiction of the juvenile justice system. Therefore, youth who are eligible based on their involvement with the criminal justice system within 12 months before enrollment, must also have been involved with the juvenile justice system prior to their involvement with the criminal justice system in order to be an eligible participant.
