Grant Description

Mentoring has been shown to be an effective intervention for youth; however, more research is needed to understand how youth at high risk for delinquency are best supported through mentoring. The High-Risk Youth Mentoring Research program will support research and evaluations to further examine how certain characteristics, components, and practices of mentoring programs can best support youth who are at particularly high risk for delinquency. This program is authorized by the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2014, P.L. 113-76, 128 stat. 5, 64.-65.
