On October 23, 2009, in Washington, DC, the American Youth Policy Forum (AYPF) and the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) will host a forum on OJJDP's Tribal Youth Program, which provides funds to federally recognized American Indian tribes to support and enhance tribal efforts to prevent delinquency and improve the juvenile justice system for American Indian and Alaska Native youth ages 10-17.
Tribal Youth Program: Empowering Youth in Indian Country will showcase the release of the joint AYPF and OJJDP report “Strengthening Indian Country Through Tribal Youth Programs.”
The report examines how the Tribal Youth Program is improving the lives of youth and strengthening families via case studies of five program sites. Speakers will include OJJDP staff and tribal officials.
