Page 4 O-OJJDP-2024-172069 Program Description ## Program Description Overview The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Office of Justice Programs (OJP), Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) is seeking applications for funding.
OJP is committed to advancing work that promotes civil rights and equity, increases access to justice, supports crime victims and individuals impacted by the justice system, strengthens community safety, protects the public from crime and evolving threats, and builds trust between law enforcement and the community.
With this solicitation, OJJDP seeks to implement and deliver mentoring services to youth populations that are involved in the juvenile justice system. This program supports mentoring programs to reduce juvenile delinquency, truancy, drug abuse, victimization, and other problem and high-risk behaviors. This program furthers DOJ’s mission to uphold the rule of law, keep our country safe, and protect civil rights.
OJJDP's guiding philosophy is to enhance the welfare of America’s youth and broaden their opportunities for a better future. To bring these goals to fruition, OJJDP is leading efforts to transform the juvenile justice system into one that will Treat Children as Children ; Serve Children at Home, With Their Families, in their Communities ; and Open Up Opportunities for System-Involved Youth .
OJJDP encourages all proposed applications that work with youth to highlight how the proposed program aligns with these priorities. OJJDP envisions a juvenile justice system centered on the strengths, needs, and voices of youth and families. Young people and family members with lived experience are vital resources for understanding and reaching persons involved or at risk of involvement with youth-serving systems.
OJJDP asks stakeholders to join us in sustainably integrating bold, transformative youth and family partnership strategies into our daily work. OJJDP believes in achieving positive outcomes for youth, families, and communities through meaningful engagement and active partnerships, ensuring they play a central role in collaboratively developing solutions.
Applicants must describe how their proposed project/program will integrate and sustain meaningful youth and family partnerships into all sections of the proposal narrative — including the description of the issue project design and implementation, capabilities and competencies, plan for collecting data — and the budget.
Depending on the nature of an applicant’s proposed project, youth and family partnership could consist of one or more of the following: • Individual-level partnership in case planning and direct service delivery (before, during, and after contact with youth-serving systems). • Agency-level partnership (e.g., in policy, practice, and program development, implementation, and evaluation; staffing; advisory bodies; budget development).

25, 150 Page 5 O-OJJDP-2024-172069 Specific Information Mentoring promotes positive behaviors, attitudes, and outcomes for youth and reduces risk factors associated with delinquency and juvenile justice system involvement, such as poor school attendance, school failure, and alcohol and drug abuse.
It has been shown to improve academic performance and/or social or job skills, support behavioral or other personal development, and reduce consumption of alcohol and other drugs. 1 However, one survey estimates that more than one in three young people never had an adult mentor of any kind while they were growing up.
2 OJJDP supports the expansion of high-quality mentoring services for targeted youth across the country to help close this gap. Youth involvement in the justice system might include a range of experiences, such as arrest, diversion, detention, adjudication, probation, incarceration, and reentry.
However, for the purposes of this solicitation, mentoring services must be targeted to those youth as a matter of diversion from an out-of-home placement in a juvenile detention or correctional facility. OJJDP has previously supported an examination of the mentoring referral process for youth involved in various juvenile justice settings.
3 More recently, the OJJDP National Mentoring Resource Center examined the broader scope of mentoring initiatives across primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention of delinquent behavior among youth, including those involved in the juvenile justice system.
4 This solicitation is focused on diverting youth from further penetration into the juvenile justice system through diversion or as a complement to community-based probation services with the goal of expediting a youth’s release from the formal juvenile justice system.
This includes those youth who are currently placed in a juvenile correctional facility and/or those youth who have recently reentered their communities upon release from a juvenile correctional facility. One promising mentoring model that has emerged focuses on credible messenger mentoring, which is a transformative mentoring intervention for justice-involved youth.
The credible messenger approach is a restorative justice model that focuses on relationships with justice-involved youth and, broadly defined, can be thought of as individuals in helping roles whose life experiences are aligned in one or more significant areas with those being served. This common experience helps support the needs of those with whom they are working.
Within the area of juvenile justice, this approach is most commonly understood to involve those with prior justice system involvement serving as mentors.
There are also broader viewpoints, however, in which credible messengers as mentors for justice system-involved youth need not necessarily have prior justice system involvement themselves as long as they share similar backgrounds, life experiences, and areas of interest with participating youth. 5 Because mentors share—and have overcome—similar experiences, including involvement in the justice system, young people find them trustworthy.

Applicants must initiate mentoring services to youth who are up to age 21.
Mentors must be an adult (age 18 or older), or in cases where peer mentoring models are being implemented, an older peer and under adult supervision. Funding may be used to support supplemental activities as part of the proposed mentoring model. Resources can be used to support nonmentoring direct services, such as mental health, substance use treatment, or other supportive services identified and aligned with the project design.
These nonmentoring costs must be specifically identified in the budget narrative. Applicants should describe their partnerships and referral services, and how they plan to address issues related to diversity, equity, and inclusion in their service delivery.
## Solicitation Goals and Objectives The program’s goal is to improve outcomes (such as improved academic performance and reduced school dropout rates) for youth involved in the juvenile justice system, and to reduce negative outcomes (including continued involvement in the juvenile justice system, substance use, and gang participation) through mentoring.
OJJDP has identified the following specific program objectives: • Increase access to mentoring services for youth involved in the juvenile justice system. • Increase or maintain the number of screened and well-trained mentors, with an emphasis on ensuring the mentors selected reflect the youth they serve. • Develop and implement program design enhancements that align with research and evidence on effective mentoring approaches.
For information about what the applicant needs to submit regarding Goals, Objectives, and Deliverables, please see the How to Apply section on the Application Goals, Objectives, Deliverables, and Timeline Web-Based Form. • OJJDP Model Programs Guide contains information about evidence-based juvenile justice and youth prevention, intervention, and reentry programs.
It is a resource for practitioners and communities about what works, what is promising, and what does not work in juvenile justice, delinquency prevention, and child protection and safety. • OJP CrimeSolutions. gov uses rigorous research to inform practitioners and policymakers about what works in criminal justice, juvenile justice, and crime victim services.
• Funding through OJJDP’s formula grants program is available to states and territories and is based on the jurisdiction's share of the national youth population. Juvenile Justice Specialists in each state administer the funding through subgrants to units of local > 6Austria, R. , and Peterson, J.

Applications that propose project(s) that are designed to meaningfully advance equity and remove barriers to accessing services and opportunities for communities that have been historically underserved, marginalized, adversely affected by inequality, and disproportionately impacted by crime, violence, and victimization.
To receive this consideration, the applicant must describe how the proposed project(s) will address identified inequities and contribute to greater access to services and opportunities for communities that have been historically underserved, marginalized, adversely affected by inequality, and disproportionately impacted by crime, violence, and victimization.
Project activities under this consideration may include, but are not limited to, the following: improving victim services, justice responses, prevention initiatives, reentry services, and other parts of an organization's or community’s efforts to advance public safety.
Applicants should propose activities that address the cultural (and linguistic, if appropriate) needs of communities, outline how the proposed activities will be informed by these communities, and implement culturally responsive and inclusive outreach and engagement. 1B.
Applicants that demonstrate that their capabilities and competencies for implementing their proposed project(s) are enhanced because they (or at least one proposed subrecipient that will receive at least 40 percent of the requested award funding, as demonstrated in the Budget web-based form) are a population-specific organization that serves communities that have been historically underserved, marginalized, adversely affected by inequality, and disproportionately impacted by crime, violence, and victimization.
For purposes of this solicitation, population-specific organizations are nonprofit, nongovernmental, or Tribal organizations that primarily serve members of a specific underserved population and have demonstrated experience and expertise providing targeted services to members of that specific underserved population.
To receive this additional priority consideration, applicants must describe how being a population-specific organization (or funding the population-specific subrecipient organization(s)) will enhance their ability to implement the proposed project(s) and should also specify which historically underserved populations are intended or expected to be served or have their needs addressed under the proposed project(s).
Note: Addressing these priority areas is one of many factors that OJP considers in making funding decisions. Receiving priority consideration for one or more priority areas does not guarantee an award.

gov, Grants. gov, or JustGrants registration and application process in sufficient time (i.e., waiting until the due dates identified in this solicitation for those systems to begin the application steps) is not an acceptable reason to request a technical waiver.
Experiencing Unforeseen Technical Issues Preventing Submission of an Application (Technical Waivers) OJP will only consider requests to submit an application after the deadline when the applicant can document that a technical issue with a government system prevented submission of the application on time. If an applicant misses a deadline due to unforeseen technical issues with SAM. gov, Grants.
gov, or JustGrants, the applicant may request a waiver to submit an application after the deadline. However, the waiver request will not be considered unless it includes documentation of attempts to receive technical assistance to resolve the issue prior to the application deadline.
A tracking number is the most typical documentation and is generated when the applicant contacts the applicable service desks to report technical difficulties. Tracking numbers are generated automatically when an applicant emails the applicable service desks; for this reason, experiencing long wait times for phone support does not relieve the applicant of the responsibility for getting a tracking number.
An applicant experiencing technical difficulties must contact the associated service desk indicated below to report the technical issue and receive a tracking number: • SAM. gov: contact the SAM. gov Help Desk (Federal Service Desk) Monday–Friday from 8 a.
