SUMMARY:Grant Writing 102: Distinct and Unique- Setting Your Organization Apart from Other Grant Applicants
DESCRIPTION:Imagine a grant officer sitting in front of the stack of proposals she received today. How do you ensure that she forwards your proposal on for review? Imagine a grant reader who has two days to review a dozen grant proposals. How do you increase your chances that he will read past your executive summary? Imagine several organizations similar to yours submitting proposals similar to yours. How do you make your proposal stand out from the rest? Although there are no guarantees to securing grants\, there are many strategies you can use to distinguish yourself from other applicants.\nTrainer: Kristin Olson

DESCRIPTION:Join ICOY and other member organizations on a call to discuss key changes in the child welfare and youth-led arena.The goal is to create a child welfare system that prepares youth to become successful and self-sufficient. Illinois Collaboration on Youth (ICOY) seeks to focus the attention of Illinois’ elected officials in all branches of government on the systematic challenges facing the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) and the private agencies that deliver many of the services within their communities.We work continuously with lawmakers and other stakeholders to educate them about the impact of nearly two decades of neglect of this system\, and to advocate for the investments and reforms that are needed to fund and sustain the community-based providers of child welfare services.These calls will take place twice a month and we are asking that all participants register to join.

SUMMARY:Briefing on Adolescent Domestic Battery in Illinois
DESCRIPTION:Members are invited to a briefing on Friday\, April 25th at 1PM by law students at Loyola’s Legislation and Policy Clinic on Adolescent Domestic Battery. Family conflict drives a significant number of youth arrests and enmeshes families in the juvenile justice system. However\, this approach does not produce positive outcomes for youth\, families\, or communities.  \nThe law students have been researching potential statutory changes to allow and encourage alternative approaches that can produce better outcomes.  \nThis discussion will focus on what we know about “adolescent domestic battery” and how we can change Illinois law\, particularly the “Minors Requiring Authoritative Intervention” section of the Juvenile Court Act\, to encourage referrals to youth services providers and provision of services\, such as Comprehensive Community-Based Youth Services (CCBYS)\, to address family needs and strengths. After the presentation\, everyone is welcome to share any concerns or questions to address issues or possibly find better approaches.

SUMMARY:ICOY Child Welfare Coalition
DESCRIPTION:Join ICOY and other member organizations on a call to discuss key changes in the child welfare and youth-led arena.The goal is to create a child welfare system that prepares youth to become successful and self-sufficient. Illinois Collaboration on Youth (ICOY) seeks to focus the attention of Illinois’ elected officials in all branches of government on the systematic challenges facing the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) and the private agencies that deliver many of the services within their communities.We work continuously with lawmakers and other stakeholders to educate them about the impact of nearly two decades of neglect of this system\, and to advocate for the investments and reforms that are needed to fund and sustain the community-based providers of child welfare services.These calls will take place twice a month and we are asking that all participants register to join.
