Training and Technical Assistance Providers
The following agencies and organizations provide training and technical
assistance that may be of use to those developing reentry programs:
- Addiction Technology
Transfer Center
The Addiction Technology Transfer Center is coordinating a training
opportunity for teams involved in the Serious and Violent Offender Reentry
Initiative (SVORI) so that they may learn from experts how to conduct
cross-discipline training. This train-the-trainer project responds to BJA’s
goal to provide criminal justice-substance use disorder (CJ-SUD) cross
training to grantees in 69 sites around the nation receiving SVORI funding.
- Center for Sex Offender
Management
The goal of the Center for Sex Offender Management (CSOM) is to enhance public
safety by preventing further victimization through improving the management of
adult and juvenile sex offenders who are in the community. CSOM provides
support to the Office of Justice Programs and those jurisdictions awarded
grants through the OJP Sex Offender Management Grant Program.
-
Community Capacity Development Office
The mission of the Community Capacity Development Office (CCDO) is to promote
comprehensive strategies to reduce crime and revitalize communities. CCDO
partners with the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) to
develop joint national service projects to support reentry using VISTA
volunteers. CCDO also works on reentry issues with the Local Initiatives
Support Corporation (LISC), which helps resident-led, community-based
development organizations.
- Juvenile
Reintegration and Aftercare Center
The Juvenile Reintegration and Aftercare Center 's Intensive Aftercare Program
(IAP) is a research-based approach to transitioning youth from confinement
back into the community. IAP stresses that both surveillance and treatment
services are critical to the successful reintegration of youth into the
community.
- National
Institute of Corrections
The National Institute of Corrections (NIC), part of the U.S. Department of
Justice's Federal Bureau of Prisons, provides training, technical assistance,
information services, and policy/program development assistance to federal,
state, and local corrections agencies. Through cooperative agreements, NIC
awards funds to support its program initiatives.
