"This solicitation invites eligible applicants to propose the enhancement or expansion of initiatives that will assist in the development and maturity of community programs providing mentoring services to high-risk populations that are underserved due to location, shortage of mentors, special physical or mental challenges of the targeted population, or other analogous situations identified by the community in need of mentoring services. OJJDP is particularly interested in programs that seek to increase participation of mentors from underrepresented groups (e.g., Hispanic and African-American adult males); target children of single-parent families; make truancy prevention a priority....; and promote collaboration among national youth service organizations."
