Recent federal grant awards under the Juvenile Mentoring Program (CFDA 16.726) administered by OJJDP have ranged from $400,000 to $28,000,000, with most grants spanning two to three-year project periods. These awards have supported national non-profit organizations and local/regional youth-serving organizations to provide one-on-one, group, and peer mentoring services to youth facing challenges such as potential juvenile delinquency, substance misuse, gang involvement, and systemic inequities. The performance location for these grants has been focused on community-based mentoring services across multiple states.
