Subrecipient Activities
Subgrantees will work closely with justice agencies and partners to create a pipeline of potential participants for their programs. Each subgrantee will act as the violence prevention partner for this project. These staff can serve as mentors and role models of success and transformation for participants. Subgrantee staff will administer the INSIT assessment using motivational interviewing (MI), an evidenced-based practice. Subgrantees will offer subsidized employment opportunities in the form of pre-apprenticeships, internships, or other work-based learning opportunities.
