Dear Ms. Boggs: 
 
The Administrative Office of the Arizona Supreme Court has approved funding through the Juvenile Crime Reduction Fund 
(JCRF) for the Youth Career and Education Pathways Program (YCEPP) in accordance with the corresponding Funding 
Agreement and Addendum A. 
 
Please note, the Supreme Court of Arizona has adopted an administrative order and rules governing the administration of JCRF. 
The Juvenile Justice Services Division (JJSD) is responsible for closely reviewing applications, prioritizing program needs, 
monitoring and evaluating grantees. Programs are typically eligible for funding for three years, at reduced levels each year (75 
percent of the original amount in year two; 50 percent in year three). However, some programs may be funded for extended 
periods of time or at different funding levels, depending on the circumstances. JJSD encourages you to actively explore 
alternative resources to sustain your programs as it is necessary for JJSD to uphold the funding strategies outlined in the 
application to allow additional jurisdictions and agencies to benefit from the start-up opportunities this grant program is intended 
to provide.   
 
The Funding Agreement includes insurance requirements, which vary depending on the JCRF award amount (over or under 
$50,000.00). When utilizing subcontracts, ensure that all applicable requirements are met, including insurance. Please review, 
sign and date the enclosed Funding Agreement and Addendum A, retain copies for your records, and return originals to me 
electronically at your earliest convenience. The Addendum A reflects the approximate date(s) when you may anticipate receiving 
your award disbursement(s). JJSD staff will contact you to establish a time for an on-site monitoring visit.   
 
Congratulations on your award! The Administrative Office of the Courts wishes you success with your program in the coming 
year. Please let us know if you have any questions or if we may be of further assistance.  
 
Sincerely, 
 
 
 
Fran DeWalt, Program Manager
