Tribal Information Exchange

Capacity Building Center for Tribes

WELCOME

The Tribal Information Exchange provides resources created and gathered by the Center for Tribes for tribal child welfare professionals. 

This website was developed and maintained by the Capacity Building Center for Tribes and funded by the Children’s Bureau. The Center for Tribes provided training and technical assistance to build the capacity of tribal child welfare programs from 2014-2024. As of October 2024, the Capacity Building Center for Tribes is closed. The National Tribal Child Welfare Center for Innovation and Advancement will be launching in January 2025, including a new webpage and tribal child welfare resource library.  

At this time, we encourage you to utilize the resources on this website and follow the Children’s Bureau and Child Welfare Information Gateway for updates on the National Tribal Child Welfare Center for Innovation and Advancement.
