Grants
From Youth Today Grants Newsletter, Week of May 26, 2014
The May and
Stanley Smith Charitable Trust - Foster Youth Development Program
Grants
Deadline: Ongoing.
"With its
grantmaking in the Foster Youth program area, the Trust aims to
provide children and youth who have experienced disruption or
instability in their homes with the support, resources, skills, and
knowledge they need to become healthy, self-sufficient, resilient,
and successful adults. Families and communities are included in the
Trust’s grantmaking to support foster youth, as part of a holistic
approach to enrich the quality of life, promote self-sufficiency,
and assist individuals in achieving their highest potential. The
majority of the Trust’s Foster Youth grantmaking will be devoted to
direct services for individuals, families, and communities, but a
small number of grants may advance the work of organizations engaged
in research and communication initiatives that raise awareness about
the issues facing foster youth and encourage the implementation of
policies and practices that effectively address these issues."

School
Justice Collaboration Program: Keeping Kids in School and Out of
Court
Deadline: July
21, 2014
The Office of
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) envisions a
nation where our children are healthy, educated, and free from
violence. If they come into contact with the juvenile justice
system, the contact should be rare, fair, and beneficial to them. To
meet this vision, OJJDP is partnering with the Department of
Education and Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration to implement a multidisciplinary initiative to
improve school climates, respond early and appropriately to student
mental health and behavioral needs, avoid referring students to law
enforcement and juvenile justice as a disciplinary response, and
facilitate a proactive and supportive school reentry process in the
rare instances in which a youth is referred. The larger goal of this
program is to enhance collaboration and coordination among schools,
mental and behavioral health specialists, law enforcement, and
juvenile justice officials at the local level to ensure adults have
the support, training, and a shared framework to help students
succeed in school and prevent negative outcomes for youth and
communities.
Funder: The
Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP)

Youth
Violence Prevention Technical Assistance Program
Deadline: July
7, 2014
The Office of

preventing and ameliorating youth violence requires a shared
framework to address the factors that impact violence and
victimization at the individual, peer, family, community, and
societal levels and promote child and youth well being and that
grantees who work in partnership with OJJDP to address these issues
will benefit from targeted technical assistance, including enhanced
peer-to-peer support, that will assist them to reach their short-
and long-term goals.

Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP)
