Funding, Events, + Jobs for December 2018

A New Year Greeting

"December brings so much to our lives – opportunities that we have come to anticipate with excitement and maybe even a bit of stress. Opportunities for sharing time with people we care about, to make our favorite treats and share them, to reach out to those less fortunate and lend some support. A well-honed tradition as the year draws to its close is the perfect opportunity for reflection. Taking time to intentionally consider what the year has brought and to look ahead to what you’d like to see in the year ahead.

To honor this tradition, our latest issue of eMessages brings back some of the most popular eMessage resources from 2018 along with some new ones to reflect and consider. Best wishes for a happy new year!"

- Susan Spagnuolo, Senior TA Manager at Youth Collaboratory

Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) Invites Proposals 
The Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) was created with the passage of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) in 1994. OVW provides federal leadership in developing the national capacity to reduce violence against women and administer justice for and strengthen services to victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. OVW currently has several open funding invitations for consideration by providers.

Projects addressing this priority area must identify how they will engage in outreach to victims of sex or labor trafficking and tailor services to address the unique needs of these victims, including collaborating with mental health and substance abuse professionals as non-funded project partners.
