Grant Information

Due to budget constraints at the state level, there will be no Community Juvenile Justice Partnership Grants for the next two years (July 1, 2008 - June 30, 2010).

Community Juvenile Justice Partnership Grants (CJJPG) are two-year grants up to $50,000 per year, awarded to youth serving agencies in the Louisville Metro area.
