The Drug-Free Communities (DFC) Support Program was created by the Drug-Free Communities (DFC) Act of 1997 (Public Law 105-20). DFC Mentoring grants were established as a component of the DFC Support Program when the program was reauthorized in 2001 (Public Law 107-82, 115 Stat. 814). The DFC Mentoring Program was also included in the Office of National Drug Control Policy Reauthorization Act of 2006 (Public Law 109-469).

Grantees will be expected to achieve this goal by meeting the following objectives: 1. Strengthen Mentee coalition's organizational structure. 2. Increase Mentee coalition's leadership and community readiness to address youth substance use problems in the Mentee community.3. Assist the Mentee coalition in working through a strategic planning process that will result in a comprehensive Action Plan.
