Our INITIATIVE

The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention’s (OJJDP) Opioid Affected Youth Initiative (OAYI) supports the efforts of states, communities, tribal jurisdictions, nonprofit organizations, and institutions of higher education to provide integrated services supportive of youth and their families. Through this program, OJJDP provides funding to states and communities to develop and implement effective, data-driven, and coordinated responses to opioid abuse-related challenges and other substance use disorders that impact youth and community safety.
