The Tribal Youth Resource Center, funded by The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, is dedicated to supporting tribal efforts in improving juvenile justice systems for American Indian Alaskan Native youth. They offer training, technical assistance, and resources to help tribal communities develop capacity and implement culturally based prevention and intervention approaches. Additionally, they provide support for the expansion or enhancement of existing tribal court systems to better serve tribal youth.
Through their funding opportunities, such as the Coordinated Tribal Assistance Solicitation, tribes can access financial support for their youth-serving initiatives. The Tribal Youth Resource Center also celebrates and highlights successful programs, like the Absentee Shawnee Tribe's Camp Nikoti, and spreads awareness through digital arts and media, as seen with the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribal Youth campaign. With a commitment to changing the narrative for Native youth, the Tribal Youth Resource Center is a valuable resource for tribes seeking to improve juvenile serving systems and reduce youth recidivism and victimization.
