Mountain CAP of West Virginia, based in Upshur County, will receive $66,438 in federal Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Title II grant funding.
The award is one of 12 grants totaling $659,570 announced Monday by Governor Patrick Morrisey for projects across West Virginia.
The federal grant funds are awarded to public and private non-profit agencies throughout the state to support local programs aimed at preventing juvenile delinquency, rehabilitating juvenile offenders and strengthening the West Virginia juvenile justice system.
