The Juvenile Corrections Advisory Board Grant is a non-competitive opportunity for use by intake and assessment services, immediate intervention, probation and conditional release, and training on evidencebased practices for juvenile justice system staff, including, but not limited to, training in cognitive behavioral therapies, family-centered therapies, substance abuse, sex offender therapy, and other services that address a juvenile's risks and needs. The grant is designed to fund the development and implementation of evidence-based programs and practices that aim to improve outcomes for youth, families, and communities in Kansas by supporting community-based programs. The Juvenile Corrections Advisory Board grant allows for regional or county Juvenile Corrections Advisory Boards to collaborate with community agencies and submit an application that is inclusive of the community partners the board has agreed to fund. 3 Throughout the community partner selection process, priority considerations for these funds should be given to communities with high levels of out-of-home justice-involved youth per capita and where community-based alternatives are lacking. Boards of County Commissioners (BOCCs) are eligible to apply for Juvenile Corrections Advisory Board (JCAB) and/or Juvenile Reinvestment grants for justice-involved youth who are served by community supervision offices, including, but not limited to, Juvenile Intake and Assessment, Court Services, Immediate Intervention Programs, and Community Corrections.
