Grant Description

The Consolidated Grant Program to Address Children and Youth Experiencing Domestic and Sexual Assault and Engage Men and Boys as Allies, hereafter referred to as the Consolidated Youth Program, supports activities that were previously funded under the following four OVW grant programs: Grants to Assist Children and Youth Exposed to Violence Program (CEV); Services to Advocate for and Respond to Youth Program (Youth Services); Services, Training, Education and Policies to Reduce Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, and Stalking in Secondary Schools Grant Program (STEP); and the Engaging Men and Boys in Preventing Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, and Stalking Program (Engaging Men). The Consolidated Youth Program creates a unique opportunity for communities to increase collaboration among non-profit victim service providers, violence prevention and children (0-10), youth (11-18), young adult (19-24) and men-serving organizations, tribes and tribal governments, local government agencies, schools, and programs that support menуs role in combating violence against women and girls. This Grant Program will make awards to different type of projects: Comprehensive and Engaging Men. First, the Consolidated Youth Program supports рComprehensiveс Projects that fund child- and youth-centered prevention and intervention activities that maximize community-based efforts and evidence-informed practices to address domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking. рComprehensiveс Projects must focus on a full spectrum of strategies; specifically, prevention, intervention, treatment and response. These strategies include victim services to children and youth exposed to violence, training for professionals to improve interventions and responses, coordinated school-based strategies, supportive services for non-offending parents, and coordinated community responses to violence targeting children and youth. Second, the Consolidated Youth Program supports рEngaging Menс Projects which fund multi-faceted prevention strategies that involve community organizing, outreach, public education and mobilization that utilize men as influencers of other men and boys to encourage them to work as allies with women and girls to prevent domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking.
