OJJDP Seeks Applicants for Latino Youth Mentoring Program
June 2, 2008
The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) invites applicants for its Latino Youth Mentoring Program.
The program focuses on developing and supporting a peer mentoring program that proactively reaches youth before they are recruited by gangs to develop and strengthen protective factors against gang involvement and other problem behaviors.
Eligible applicants are limited to private organizations, nonprofits (including community and faith-based organizations), and public agencies (including schools, colleges, universities, and units of local governments).
Successful applicants will include local school districts with a demonstrable Latino gang problem committed to or already working with nonprofits, faith-based organizations, and other community partners to provide mentoring services to at-risk youth. Targeted programs will feature schools with large populations of non-native, Hispanic youth.
The application deadline is June 20, 2008, and applicants should register with Grants.gov as early as possible to prevent delays in submitting their applications by the deadline.
