BACKGROUND
Background
In April 2016, the Family Justice Center (FJC) received the Camp HOPE America Readiness Grant from the Verizon Foundation in the amount of $10,000. The Camp HOPE America program was developed by the National Family Justice Center and is an evidence-based, dedicated camping and mentoring program focused on children and teens exposed to domestic violence.
Grant funds will be used to support training and preparation needed for the FJC to develop and launch a Camp HOPE program in Guilford County. A portion of the grant funds were spent in FY 2016; the remaining funds need to be re-appropriated for the new fiscal year, as training and preparation continues.
