Grant Categories

Category 1: Program Sites– The goal of this category is to prevent sexual reoffending by adolescent sex offenders and youth with sexual behavior problems, promote healing, and provide services for victims and families. This program will assist communities in developing comprehensive, multidisciplinary approaches to provide a continuum of intervention and supervision services for adolescent sex offenders and youth with sexual behavior problems; and treatment services for their victims and families/caregivers.
Category 2: Training and Technical Assistance– The goals of Category 2 are to develop, design, and deliver training and technical assistance that supports and guides the program sites as they implement their community-based prevention, intervention and treatment strategies for adolescent sex offenders, youth with sexual behavior problems and their victims and families. Technical assistance needs may vary greatly depending on the current practices of each program site. Some sites may have a well-developed multidisciplinary team that addresses such cases. Others may have existing treatment services that specialize in juvenile sex offender treatment or victim/family services, and some sites may lack this capacity entirely.
