Join the NCJA Pre-Grant Application Webinar – Project TEAM: Helping Tribes and State/Local Governments Create Joint Jurisdiction Collaborations
Please join the National Criminal Justice Association (NCJA) and Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) pre-grant application webinar, Project TEAM: Helping Tribes and State/Local Governments Create Joint Jurisdiction Collaborations, on Wednesday, January 7 from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. EST.
Project TEAM (Together Everyone Achieves More), funded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), provides training and technical assistance (TTA) to sites that wish to design and implement joint jurisdiction justice projects. Project TEAM’s model is based on the successful experience of Judge John Smith and Judge Korey Wahwassuck who created the nation’s first joint jurisdiction court in Minnesota. The Cass County-Leech Lake Wellness Court was successful in reducing recidivism, improving public safety, and helping to significantly improve the relationship between the tribe and the surrounding community.
Project TEAM has been authorized to provide TTA to two additional communities. NCJA is hosting this webinar to introduce Project TEAM staff, describe the TTA services offered, and review the application procedure for TTA assistance.
Presenters on the webinar will include all Project TEAM staff led by Judges Korey Wahwassuck and John P. Smith, and Judges Christine Williams and Suzanne Kingsbury from the Shingle Springs-El Dorado County initiative.
To access the Request for Proposal and Project TEAM TTA application, please visit the Project TEAM website. Any pre-webinar questions should be directed to Allison Leof at leof@ohsu.edu or at 503-494-3805.
