Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2010 Mentoring for the Safe Schools/Healthy Students (SS/HS) Initiative grant opportunity is a discretionary federal grant designed to strengthen mentoring as part of broader school and community safety efforts. It sits within the long-running SS/HS Initiative, a multi-agency partnership led jointly by the U.S. Department of Education, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and the U.S. Department of Justice. The overall aim is to help schools and communities build safer, healthier learning environments by coordinating prevention and early intervention supports, rather than relying on disconnected programs that operate in isolation.
This specific solicitation focuses on mentoring as a practical, evidence-based service that can be integrated into a community's existing SS/HS comprehensive plan. The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) is seeking proposals that either launch new community-based mentoring programs or expand and improve mentoring programs that already exist. The emphasis is on increasing the capacity of SS/HS partnerships and collaborations, meaning the grant is meant to strengthen the local infrastructure, coordination, and delivery of mentoring services so they can reach more youth and operate more effectively. A central program priority is serving young people who are underserved, with mentoring framed as a prevention and early intervention tool that can support positive youth development and reduce risk factors associated with delinquency and related problems.
Eligibility is narrow and is limited to local educational agencies (LEAs) that were the original applicants for an SS/HS grant and that are currently funded SS/HS grantees from fiscal years 2007, 2008, or 2009. Applicants also must be in good standing on their SS/HS awards. At a minimum, this means the grantee has received its scheduled continuation award and is not on reimbursement status, signaling that the federal government is looking for sites that are already meeting grant management and performance expectations and are positioned to add or scale mentoring components successfully.
The funding is administered as a grant under CFDA 16.726, the Juvenile Mentoring Program. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, which lowers the barrier for eligible school districts to apply and can make it easier to scale services without needing additional non-federal dollars as a condition of award. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $300,000, and the award floor is listed as $0, indicating that awards can vary depending on the scope and quality of proposed activities and available funds.
Key dates for the opportunity include a posted date of April 30, 2010, and an application deadline of June 15, 2010, with all applications due by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on that date. The opportunity is archived as of November 6, 2011. For access issues related to the full announcement, the contact listed is Grants.gov Customer Support at 1-800-518-4726.
In practical terms, the opportunity is aimed at helping existing SS/HS sites deepen their work by using mentoring as a structured, research-supported strategy that complements other school safety, mental health, and youth development efforts already underway. Rather than creating a stand-alone mentoring project, applicants are expected to align mentoring with their SS/HS comprehensive plan, demonstrating how mentoring will be coordinated with existing partners and services and how it will strengthen prevention and early intervention outcomes for children and youth.
