Training and Technical Assistance
Identifying, nurturing, and maintaining the capacity of victim services organizations in Indian Country is the focus of our training workshops. Our training packages are designed around the concept that “services for Native American victims of crime are only as strong and sustainable as the organizations that offer the services.” The Institute for Native Justice’s E-learning Center combined with face-to-face training and technical assistance offers a multi-level solution.
