ATI Incubation Academy Portal
The Incubation Academy aims to train, support, and provide technical assistance to new and existing community-based organizations, especially those who serve underrepresented communities and justice-involved individuals. Selected organizations should have programmatic capacity to provide housing, assessment, case management, or mental health/substance abuse treatment services to justice-involved individuals, in order to divert or remove them from the justice system at the earliest opportunity. If you have not yet applied, begin by filling out the online application here. Cohort four of the Incubation Academy begins on March 29th, 2023.
The year-long Academy begins with a 10-session workshop conducted over a 15-week period that provides capacity building and mentorship with lead service reentry providers. Academy training topics will include:
- County contracting principles
- Principles of non-profit organizational management
- Fundamentals of budget preparation and management
- Internal controls and safeguard best practices
- Court/program reporting standards
- Using data to track services and outcomes
- Knowledge and skill building in diversion, reentry, working with justice-involved individuals, trauma-informed care, understanding crime patterns, and other safety and justice topics.
We are hosting a series of listening sessions with county-based organizations and will be conducting a thorough review of organizational needs to fully refine Academy curricula and resources. Click here to let us know what resources would be valuable to you.
If you applied to the Incubation Academy anywhere between cohorts one through four but were not chosen, you are automatically under consideration for the next cohort. Applicants are considered on a rolling basis, therefore there is no need to submit again.
If you have already applied and would like feedback on your application, please email ati@lisc.org with the subject line: Review My IA Application. A member of the LISC team will happily sit down with you.
Thank you for your intrest in our program and continued support.
