Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 09 Tribal Youth National Mentoring Program (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2009 2236) was a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), under CFDA 16.731 (Tribal Youth Program). Its main purpose was to strengthen mentoring for tribal youth by helping community programs grow, become more effective, and expand their reach. The solicitation focused on tribal youth who were not getting adequate mentoring support because of challenges such as geographic isolation, a limited local pool of available mentors, the particular emotional or behavioral needs of the youth being served, or other barriers and priorities identified directly by federally recognized tribes.
In practical terms, the grant was meant to build up the mentoring infrastructure that tribal communities rely on. Applicants were expected to propose initiatives that did more than simply provide mentoring in the short term; the emphasis was on development and maturation of community-based mentoring efforts, suggesting attention to program design, quality, sustainability, and the capacity to serve youth who are often hardest to reach. The opportunity recognized that many tribal communities face unique constraints, including distance between communities, limited staffing and volunteer networks, and youth needs that may require specialized mentor recruitment, screening, training, and ongoing support.
Eligibility was limited to organizations positioned to operate at a national level and work across multiple tribal jurisdictions. Specifically, applicants could include national tribal organizations and other national organizations, including community-based and faith-based nonprofit organizations, as long as they could demonstrate capacity to operate programs with tribes in multiple states and tribal jurisdictions. The solicitation also explicitly contemplated tribal commercial and nonprofit national organizations, tribal colleges and universities, and tribal consortiums as potential applicants. Joint applications were allowed, but the submission had to clearly name one primary applicant responsible for fiscal management, official correspondence, and overall award administration, with any partners identified as co-applicants.
The funding instrument was a grant, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which typically lowers barriers to participation for organizations that may not have access to non-federal match resources. The public posting date was May 8, 2009. Applications had to be submitted through the Office of Justice Programs (OJP) Grants Management System (GMS) at https://grants.ojp.usdoj.gov/. The original and final closing date was June 15, 2009, with the submission deadline time extended from 8:00 p.m. to 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the same date. For technical submission issues, applicants were directed to the GMS Support Hotline at 1-888-549-9901 (option 3), available Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
The solicitation cited its statutory authority as the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2009 (Public Law 111-8) and the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act of 2002, grounding the program in federal juvenile justice and delinquency prevention policy. While the record lists an award ceiling and floor as 0, that typically reflects how the archived listing was captured rather than the actual intent to award no funds; applicants would normally confirm anticipated award sizes and totals in the full announcement linked in the posting. The opportunity was later archived on November 7, 2011, indicating it was no longer open for competition after the 2009 cycle.
For programmatic questions or if the full announcement could not be accessed electronically, OJJDP provided direct points of contact: Laura Ansera, Tribal Youth Program Coordinator, at (202) 514-5679, and Kara McDonagh, Grants Program Specialist, at (202) 305-1456.
