AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: The eligible applicant is the local educational agency (LEA) that served as the applicant for the SS/HS grant.  Eligibility is limited to current SS/HS Initiative grantees funded in fiscal years 2007, 2008, or 2009 and are in good standing with respect to those requirements associated with their Federal SS/HS award.  This means, at a minimum, that each grantee has received a scheduled continuation award and is not on reimbursement status.
Description: The SS/HS Initiative is a joint effort by the U.S. Departments of Education, Health and Human Services, and Justice to support schools and communities in creating safer and healthier learning environments. This solicitation invites current Safe Schools/Healthy Student grantees to develop proposals that will increase the capacity of their SS/HS collaborations to develop and implement community-based mentoring programs or to expand and enhance existing mentoring programs and strategies. This program advances the provision of integrated resources for prevention and early intervention services for children and youth by supporting effective evidence-based mentoring services to young people who are underserved. The intent of this program is to demonstrate new mentoring efforts or to expand existing mentoring efforts that work in concert with a grantee&#146;s SS/HS comprehensive plan.
