This OJJDP FY24 Mentoring Programs for Youth in the Juvenile Justice System program supports mentoring for youth involved in the juvenile justice system, with an emphasis on youth involved with probation services. The focus is to provide mentoring services to those system involved youth screened as being low risk to public safety by a juvenile justice agency as part of an overall diversion approach, with a goal of rehabilitation and accountability. The program is intended to be a resource for juvenile justice agency staff (i.e., probation officers) to make available to those youth on their caseload who are in need of and most appropriate for community based supervision and or diversion services. Furthermore, this solicitation will specifically support programs interested in supporting the expansion of credible messenger mentoring to help break the cycle of incarceration impacting youth and families.
This webinar will provide a general overview of the program, the goals and objectives, a discussion about the application process, and a Q&A opportunity for participants.
