OpportunityTitle: OJJDP FY 10 Tribal Youth National Mentoring Program
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: Applicants are limited to national organizations, including community, secular, and faith-based non-profit organizations, and federally-recognized Indian tribal governments (as determined by the Secretary of the Interior and published in the Federal Register), that may partner with other such national organizations as subgrantees.  An applicant must demonstrate the capacity to operate programs with tribes in multiple states and tribal jurisdictions, including tribal commercial and nonprofit national organizations, tribal colleges and universities, and tribal consortia. Joint tribal applications are welcome; however, one applicant must be clearly indicated as the primary applicant (for fiscal responsibility, correspondence, award, and management purposes) and the other indicated as co-applicant(s).
Description: This solicitation invites applicants to propose national initiatives that will support the development, maturation, and expansion of community programs that provide mentoring services to tribal youth populations on tribal reservations of federally-recognized tribes across the nation that are underserved due to location, shortage of mentors, emotional or behavioral challenges of the targeted population, or other situations identified by the federally-recognized tribes. This program is authorized by the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2010, Pub. L. 111&#150;117.
