Specifications include, but are not limited to: FSD, in partnership with the Council for Equitable Youth Justice (CEYJ) is seeking to enter into a grant agreement or agreements with one or more vendors to design and implement a pilot to provide domestic and sexual violence accountability programming primarily for youth under the age of 22, with the ability to expand to youth under the age of 26 in the event youth justice jurisdiction is extended for delinquency and youthful offenders (hereinafter referred to as “JDVAP” or “Pilot”). The Pilot will fill a gap in services for youth who engage or have engaged in violence, sexual violence, or power and control behaviors in intimate-partner relationships. Currently, there are no programs for youth that are specifically designed to intervene in problematic sexual behaviors and intimate partner violence. JDVAP would enable targeted programming for Diversion, Balanced and Restorative Justice (BARJ) programs, and Probation when an incident does occur. The target population is primarily court-adjudicated youth between the ages of 16-22 who exhibit problematic sexual behaviors, dating violence, or nonassaultive behaviors related to power, control, and intimidation in intimate relationships, and may also include non-adjudicated youth who are at risk of exhibiting such behaviors and violence.
