The Government is boosting funding by $550,000 for innovative programmes for serious youth offenders and those at risk of offending.
The initial funding round of $350,000 received 115 applications. Providers have a range of innovative ideas to connect with young offenders, and address their behaviour to help turn their lives around.
Successful applicants include mentoring and early intervention, and marae or camp based programmes, specifically targeting young Maori, and female offenders.
The Innovation Fund is part of the Fresh Start suite of programmes and a second round of funding for $1.4 million for 2010/2011 opens on June 7.
