## Cost Sharing/Match Requirement ## General Purpose of the Funding This NOFO supports the implementation and delivery of mentoring services to youth populations that are at risk or high risk for delinquency, victimization, and juvenile justice system involvement. Mentoring services can be one -on -one, group, peer, or a combination of these types.

Applicants must initiate mentoring services to youth who are 17 years old or younger at the time of admission to the program. Mentors m ust 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 is encouraged to support new mentoring matches but can also support existing mentoring matches through program completion.

For this NOFO, OJJDP defines at -risk and high -risk youth as youth who are involved or most likely to become involved in the juvenile justice system because they possess certain risk factors in key life domain areas (i.e., individual, family, school, community); are already involved in the juvenil e justice system; and/or reside in environments that have high rates of parental incarceration, community violence, drug markets, and gang concentration .

OJJDP strongly encourages applicants to target mentoring services to youth who demonstrate need but have not participated in mentoring services due to limited or lack of mentoring programs in their community or a shortage of trained and screened mentors.

While funding can support existing matches, the majority of funding should be used for exp ansion efforts . For Category 2, the minimum amount of funding applicants can apply for is $1,000,000. However, OJJDP is interested in providing more robust support ( up to $4,000,000 ) for those applicants who can demonstrate their program has the “broadest reach” across their affiliates.

The following provides details on what applicants should include in their application to demonstrate the “broadest reach . ” Broadest Reach: Address how the proposed existing mentoring approach will reach a broad population of youth.
