Intensive Technical Assistance

Since the mid-1980’s, OJJDP’s LRE program has provided technical assistance to establish and enhance statewide LRE projects. Since 1998, Youth for Justice has offered intensive technical assistance and funding to a select number of statewide projects with special needs. Recipients of this assistance are chosen through competitive grant proposals. Outcomes, such as infrastructure building and teacher training, are assessed by the Social Science Education Consortium (SSEC) in Boulder, CO, to measure the effectiveness of the assistance received and document the lessons learned for potential replication.6
