OverviewTop  
The Tribal Youth Program (TYP) helps tribal communities prevent juvenile delinquency, reduce violent crime, and improve tribal juvenile justice systems. For more information, visit TYP's Web page.
FundingTop  
  • FY 08 Awards
  • FY 07 Awards Although tribes may contract for services with other organizations, only federally recognized tribes whose names appear in the Federal Register are eligible to receive a Tribal JADG Program award. If two or more tribes partner to apply for an award, one tribe must assume fiduciary responsibility and submit the application on behalf of the partnership. This tribe will be identified as the "primary agency" for purposes of administration and management of the award and must submit a signed Memorandum of Understanding that includes an outline of each partner’s roles and responsibilities. The tribal membership of the "primary agency" is the tribal membership on which funding for this award will be based upon.
