Justice Department, Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Office
The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), pursuant to the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (JJDP) Act of 1974, as amended, section 405(a), 42 U.S.C. 5776, requires the Administrator of OJJDP to make grants to and enter into contracts with public agencies or nonprofit private organizations to support research, demonstration, or service programs designed to educate parents, children, and community agencies in ways to prevent the abduction and sexual exploitation of children, to provide information to assist in the location and return of missing children, and to aid communities in the collection of materials which would be useful to parents in assisting others in the identification of missing children. OJJDP is publishing this program announcement to request applications for a competitive discretionary grant program, the Missing and Exploited Children Nonprofit Organizations and Family Support Program. The purpose of the Missing and Exploited Children Nonprofit Organizations and Family Support Program is to improve, at the State and local levels, the quality, availability, and coordination of services provided to missing and exploited children and their families and to improve the capacity and capabilities of missing children nonprofit organizations. Until now, little attention has been given to the need to coordinate with local service providers and expand services for children and their families. There is currently no network of screened and trained volunteers to provide specialized assistance and advice to parents searching for their children. Furthermore, there are few agencies that are trained or equipped to provide mentoring services to families whose children have been abducted or illegally detained in a foreign country. Federal assistance is urgently needed to coordinate and assist in this problem.
