Request a Grant Writer

Grants to USA organizations to provide mentoring services to at-risk youth. Applicants are advised that required registrations may take several weeks to complete. The purpose of the grant program is to improve outcomes for youth who are at risk for delinquency through mentoring and family support.

The program’s goal is to improve outcomes (such as improved academic performance and reduced school dropout rates) for at-risk and high-risk youth, and reduce negative outcomes (including juvenile delinquency, substance use, and gang participation) through youth mentoring.

OJJDP has identified the following specific program objectives:

Increase or expand reach to the number of at-risk or high-risk youth receiving mentoring services.
Increase or maintain the number of screened and well-trained mentors, with an emphasis on ensuring the mentors selected reflect the youth they serve.
Develop and implement program design enhancements that align with research and evidence on effective mentoring approaches.

This solicitation has three separate categories of funding that organizations can apply for based on their eligibility:

Category 1: Mentoring Organizations (1 state).
Category 2: Mentoring Organizations (2 to 10 states).
Category 3: Mentoring Organizations (11 to 44 states).

For further details on each category, see https://ojjdp.ojp.gov/funding/fy2022/o-ojjdp-2022-171253#page=5.

Deliverables:

Provide high-quality mentoring services that meet the needs associated with the target population(s) and that will reduce delinquency or other problem behaviors in at-risk youth. Applicants under all categories should identify the proposed target population(s) and explain how the proposed mentoring approach will appropriately respond to their unique needs in a way that is likely to promote positive outcomes.
Implement program enhancements for the existing mentoring program in one or more of the six core practice areas listed in the Elements of Effective Practice for Mentoring, 4th edition, as highlighted on OJJDP’s National Mentoring Resource Center website.
Incorporate family engagement as part of the program design or approach.
Program sites should include in their application a plan for how the proposed project will ensure diversity, equity and inclusion for mentors and youth regardless of their racial or ethnic group; religion; socioeconomic status; gender; or other characteristics historically linked to discrimination or exclusion.
