Tribes TLC® – A Model and Promising Program

OJJDP Model Programs Guide

CenterSource is pleased to announce that Tribes TLC® has been included in the OJJDP (Office of Juvenile Justice Delinquency Prevention) Model Programs Guide. OJJDP, an office of the U.S. Department of Justice, created the Model Programs Guide to assist educational practitioners and communities in “implementing evidence-based prevention and intervention programs that can make a difference in the lives of children and communities.”

The Guide’s ratings are derived from four dimensions of program effectiveness –

• conceptual framework of the program
• program fidelity
• evaluation design
• empirical evidence demonstrating the prevention or reduction of problem behaviors, the reduction of risk factors, and the enhancement of protective factors.

Tribes is recognized as an OJJDP prevention program in the categories of –

• academic skills enhancement
• afterschool and recreation
• classroom curricula
• conflict resolution and interpersonal skills
• leadership and youth development
