Robert Wood Johnson Seeks Proposals for Additional Reclaiming Futures Sites

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation is seeking to add up to six additional sites to its Reclaiming Futures program. The program enhances the capacity of juvenile courts to provide youth who enter the justice system because of drug and alcohol offenses with an appropriate response that matches accountability with overcoming addiction.

Eligible applicants include juvenile courts; public and nonprofit treatment agencies; and state, local, and tribal juvenile justice and alcohol and drug abuse treatment authorities. Successful applicants will receive a technical assistance package valued at approximately $180,000. There are no grant funds.

The deadline for proposals is April 1, 2008.

The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) has partnered with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation through its Juvenile Drug Courts/Reclaiming Futures Program. As OJJDP Administrator J. Robert Flores has observed, the partnership “seeks to promote best practices and the delivery of individually tailored responses that assist youth in taking responsibility for their drug use.”
