Opportunity Information: Apply for OJJDP 2018 13523
The OJJDP FY 18 Mentoring Opportunities for Youth Initiative is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), designed to expand and strengthen youth mentoring services. The solicitation is structured as a multi-category program that funds mentoring delivered in a range of formats, including one-to-one mentoring as well as group or peer mentoring models. Its overall focus is on supporting mentoring organizations that operate at a national or multi-state scale and on providing mentoring tailored to specific youth populations, including youth involved with the juvenile justice system.
The opportunity is organized into three main categories: National Mentoring, Multi-State Mentoring, and Supportive Mentoring Services for Youth on Probation. The National Mentoring and Multi-State Mentoring categories are aimed at larger mentoring organizations with broad geographic reach, supporting efforts that can deliver mentoring across multiple jurisdictions and potentially standardize, replicate, or scale evidence-informed practices. The Supportive Mentoring Services for Youth on Probation category focuses more directly on youth who are currently under probation supervision, reflecting an intent to use mentoring as a supportive intervention that can promote positive development, improve decision-making and social supports, and help reduce justice system involvement or reoffending risk.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a grant (not a cooperative agreement or contract) under a law, justice, and legal services activity area, with CFDA number 16.726. The funding opportunity number is OJJDP 2018 13523. The solicitation was created on May 15, 2018, with an original application deadline of June 28, 2018.

Eligibility is broad and includes state governments, federally recognized tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). It also allows for for-profit organizations that are not small businesses, and additional eligible applicants as described in the solicitation’s eligibility clarification text. In practical terms, this means the initiative is open to a mix of public agencies and private organizations capable of implementing or administering mentoring programs at scale or serving specialized populations, especially those connected to juvenile probation.Apply for OJJDP 2018 13523
