    Fresno State's Department of Recreation Administration is interested in collaborating on any appropriate grant applications to engage our faculty and students in the community. Please let me know if there is a way we can work together!

    THIS GRANT'S FOCUS: 
    Youth Violence, Violence Prevention, Youth Welfare/Safety, Gang Violence, Bullying
    Deadline: 
    June 12, 2023

    "With this solicitation, OJJDP seeks to provide funding for applicants to develop and/or enhance strategies to prevent youth violence, including youth gang involvement and youth gang/group violence. Strategies funded through this solicitation may work in coordination with community violence intervention (CVI) strategies that target youth at the highest risk of violence, but the focus for this solicitation is on delivering prevention and early intervention services for at-risk youth. The goal of this program is to prevent youth violence, including youth gang/group violence, through data-driven strategies. Project sites are expected to use funding to develop and implement violence prevention strategies targeted toward middle and high school age youth who have multiple risk factors for violence.

    Specific objectives include:
    (1) Increase
     protective factors to prevent violence and delinquent behavior by youth.
    (2) Implement
     data-driven, evidence-informed, and community-led approaches.
    (3) Develop
     and/or enhance direct service programs for youth with multiple risk factors for violence.
