U.S. Department of Justice - Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP)

OJJDP provides funding to serve girls in non-traditional settings through three key programs. The first, Girl Scouts Beyond Bars, offers girls with incarcerated mothers an opportunity to establish a trusting, mutually affirming relationship with each other. The second, Girl Scouts in Detention Centers, gives girls in Detention Centers a chance to participate in Girl Scouting as a way of boosting their self-esteem and confidence. The third is the continuation of P.A.V.E. the Way (Project Anti-Violence Education).

OJJDP provides national leadership, coordination, and resources to prevent and respond to juvenile delinquency and victimization.
