Abstract: The Children and Youth & Engaging Men (CYEM) Program supports comprehensive, community-based efforts that develop and expand prevention, intervention, treatment, and response strategies to address the needs of children and youth impacted by domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. In addition, the CYEM Program focuses on boys' and men's roles in ending violence against women by supporting projects that create educational programming and community organizing to encourage men and boys to work as allies with women and girls to prevent domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. Through its grant awards, the CYEM Program aims to build safe, supportive, and accountable communities by preventing physical and sexual violence.
The CYEM program releases two separate funding opportunities under one program: (1) Children and Youth (CY) and (2) Engaging Men (EM). The EM program supports efforts to develop and implement strategies that engage, mobilize, and empower men and boys at individual, group, relational, and societal levels to serve as role models, positive influencers, change agents, and mentors to address and prevent domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking.
Eligible applicants are: nonprofit, nongovernmental entities; tribal organizations; Indian tribal governments; and units of local government or agencies of units of local government in the United States or U.S. territories. Since FY 2012, this program has been authorized by federal appropriations acts, which consolidated four previously authorized and appropriated programs into one comprehensive program.
