Performance Partnerships Pilots (P3) Round Two Application Deadline Extended
|
The federal government recently announced an application deadline extension for the second round of the P3 competition. The U.S. Department of Education will reopen the application process until July 19th. Entities that ran out of time to complete their applications will now have additional time. Official questions can be submitted to [email protected]. Contact the Forum's Thaddeus Ferber for (unofficial) help and support.
The Performance Partnership Pilots - commonly referred to as P3 - allow selected local, tribal and state agencies the opportunity to enter into an agreement with the federal government that will grant broad flexibility in how the site uses discretionary federal funds to implement evidence-informed practices while committing to achieve significant improvements for disconnected youth.
The Forum for Youth Investment has created the online P3 Hub, a webpage that provides a central location for P3-related resources and information. Access the P3 Hub

Reminder: Thought Leader Roundtable with Shay Bilchik
We Really Do Know What Works - Using the Evidence to Create Lasting Change in Juvenile Justice and Beyond
Thursday, July 28
2:00- 3:00 PM EDT
|
Did you know
- that a huge meta-analysis of juvenile justice programs concluded that "there is no indication that there were juveniles whose risk level was so high that they did not respond to effective interventions?"
- that this analysis of over 500 studies landed on a simple but powerful four-part prescription for program success that applies to home-grown programs as well as branded models?
- that this standardized program evaluation protocol is being used to both flag and fix practice gaps within major juvenile justice and child welfare systems?
- that this model parallels the approach of the David P. Weikart Center's Youth Program Quality Intervention used by hundreds of afterschool systems?
If the answer to any of these questions is no, join Karen Pittman as she talks with Shay Bilchik, founder and director of the Center for Juvenile Justice Reform at Georgetown University. Shay, an attorney by training, has been on the cutting edge of systems reform for decades as head of the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention in the Clinton Administration and CEO of the Child Welfare League of America. We guarantee that you'll leave the conversation convinced that we really do know what works, but we just don't use this evidence effectively enough to create lasting, scalable practice and policy change.
