Synopsis

This NOFO supports the implementation and delivery of mentoring services to youth that are at risk for juvenile delinquency, victimization, and juvenile justice system involvement. The program’s goal is to improve outcomes for at-risk and high-risk youth and reduce negative outcomes through mentoring. The program objectives are to increase the number of at-risk or high-risk youth receiving mentoring services; increase the number of screened and well-trained mentors; and develop and implement program design enhancements that align with effective mentoring approaches.
