OJJDP FY25 Mentoring for Youth Affected by Opioid and Other Substance Use

This grant opportunity aims to enhance and expand mentoring services for children and youth affected by opioids and other substance use, as well as their families. The program may support supplemental activities that are consistent with the proposed mentoring model and have a clear connection to the mentoring program. Up to 20 percent of the total funds may be allocated for other non-mentoring direct services. • Mentoring services may include one-on-one, group, or peer mentoring—or a combination of these approaches. • The program is expected to provide services to children and youth affected by opioids and other substance use. • The grant is open to various types of organizations, including units of local government, national organizations, and organizations with statewide reach that provide mentoring services.
