Eligibility is restricted to organizations have operated an established mentoring program for at least 3 years, have active chapters or subawardees in at least five states, and will serve at-risk, high-risk or underserved youth across all five states. For purposes of this solicitation, two or more independent organizations that form a collaborative to cover five states do not meet the criteria of OJJDP&#146;s definition of a multi-state mentoring organization.

OJJDP may elect to make awards in future fiscal years for applications submitted under this solicitation, dependent on the merit of the applications and the availability of appropriations.
Description: This solicitation will support qualified, established mentoring programs as they (1) expand services for underserved at-risk and high-risk youth and (2) enhance their services to implement additional research- and evidence-based mentoring practices. We anticipate that this program will be authorized by an act appropriating FY 2013 funds for the Department of Justice.
