ETR's Program in Action
ETR Associates is funded under two Capacity-Building Assistance
categories:
- Organizations that Serve Youth in Juvenile Justice Facilities and Alternative Schools
- Capacity-Building Assistance for Providing Professional Development
For
Organizations that Serve Youth in Juvenile Justice Facilities and Alternative Schools, ETR is
- Providing capacity building assistance for alternative school and juvenile
justice staff through its Survive Outside project, which offers trainings
and follow-up support on counseling, video discussion groups and
evidence-based curricula.
- Promoting the dissemination of science-based HIV prevention interventions
that are relevant and culturally appropriate for youth in the juvenile justice
system, including Making Proud Choices! and Cuidaté (an adaptation of Be Proud!
Be Responsible for Latino youth).
- Conducting additional post-training assistance to Survive Outside
trainees to enhance the effective implementation of selected interventions
and to increase collaboration with local community planning groups (CPGs),
probation officers, and faith-based organizations.
- Collaborating and communicating with education agencies regarding
capacity building assistance for juvenile justice facilities and alternative
schools in their respective jurisdictions.
- Educating clergy, parents, and guardians of youth in the participating
juvenile justice facilities and alternative schools about HIV and the potential
role adults have in helping reduce their youths’ risks for HIV.
- Assessing the impact of the Survive Outside project's capacity-building
and training activities by monitoring the implementation of HIV interventions
in juvenile justice facilities and alternative schools.
For Capacity-Building Assistance for Providing Professional Development, ETR is
- Continuing to monitor the professional development needs of DASH-funded
NGOs through a variety of mechanisms.
- Collaborating with the Rocky Mountain Center for Health Promotion and
Education/Professional Development Partnership (RMC/PDP), other NGOs,and
educational agencies funded to provide national professional development.
- Developing a long-term plan to address the identified professional
development and training needs.
- Conducting professional development activities, such as training events,
post-training web discussion forums, and materials archives, to build the
capacity of other NGOs funded by DASH so that they may more effectively work with
their constituents—teachers, parents, leaders of youth-serving organizations, school
board members, and health service providers.
- Monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of the Professional Development
Training Project to determine its impact on the capacity of DASH-funded NGOs to
strengthen their constituencies’ abilities to implement programs designed to reduce
health risk behaviors among youth.
