Featured OJJDP Grantees
As a part of its goal of improving the quality and effectiveness of mentoring across the country, the National Mentoring Resource Center provides specialized assistance to mentoring programs funded by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. OJJDP grantees include a diverse array of national, multi-state, and collaborative mentoring organizations that have been funded to strengthen or expand their existing mentoring activities, including one-to-one, group, peer, and other types of mentoring for at-risk and underserved youth populations.
To this end, the National Mentoring Resource Center technical assistance team has reached out to OJJDP grantees who have received funding for mentoring programs, to explore their application of best practices and innovations with regard to mentoring models and practices, as well as their potential technical assistance needs. On this page, we will feature grantees that have explored their technical assistance needs with the NMRC team, and highlight their use of innovative and evidence-based practices or models, as well as technical assistance, to enhance their programming.
