Camden County Juvenile Crime Prevention Council Accepting Proposals

The Camden County Juvenile Crime Prevention Council is now accepting proposals for juvenile crime intervention/prevention programs to be supported by North Carolina Division of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) funds for the State Fiscal Years 2023-2025. These funds are allocated to Camden County to support community programs serving Camden County at-risk youth between the ages of 6 and 17, for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2023. Use of funds requires a 20% match.

As a result of the Needs Assessment in Camden County, programs that reduce risk, address the needs of juveniles, and increase protective factors will be considered for funding. Programs requesting funding must address identified “Risk Factors” and should provide treatment, rehabilitation, and/or academic enhancement as prioritized by the Camden County JCPC as described in the RFP.

Any local public agency or private 501 (c) 3 non-profit organizations interested in applying for these funds must complete and submit an application online. Applicants needing additional assistance with the application process can view self-help videos on the webpage by clicking on the help tab.
