Successful mentoring relationships have been shown to increase youth’s self-esteem, improve academic achievement, and steer them away from delinquency, substance use, and other high-risk behaviors.  \nThe Office works with its partners to boost mentor recruitment, enhance  \nmentor-mentee matches, and increase the number of youth who have mentors.  \nDiverse populations of youth benefit from OJJDP’s mentoring programs, including those impacted by opioids and drug addiction, youth in rural communities, American Indian and Alaska Native youth, children of parents on active military duty, and children of incarcerated parents.  \nPrograms  \nNational and Multistate Mentoring Programs  \nThese programs support one-on-one, group, and peer mentoring to youth who are at risk for delinquency, victimization, and involvement with the juvenile justice system. The programs emphasize family engagement and promote positive relationships between youth and law enforcement.  \nMentoring for Youth Affected by the Opioid Crisis and Drug Addiction  \nGrants awarded under this program fund support services and interventions—as part of a prevention, treatment, and supportive approach—for children and youth who have been impacted by substance use.  \nTraining and Technical Assistance  \nNational Mentoring Resource Center  \nGuided by a board of nationally renowned mentoring researchers, the center offers comprehensive resources, evidence-based practices, tools, and research to improve the quality and effectiveness of youth mentoring. The center’s services are available at no cost to all youth mentoring providers.  \nFor More Information  \nLearn more about OJJDP’s mentoring [programs at](programs at ojjdp.ojp.gov/programs/)[ ojjdp.ojp.gov/programs/](programs at ojjdp.ojp.gov/programs/)[ ](programs at ojjdp.ojp.gov/programs/)[mentoring](mentoring.)[.](mentoring.)  \nNCJ 305732  \nFunding  \nBetween fiscal years 2020 and 2022, OJJDP awarded more than $262 million to increase mentoring opportunities for youth and to improve the quality of the mentoring they receive.  \n` Fiscal Year 2022—$87.9 million  \n` Fiscal Year 2021—$89.4 million  \n` Fiscal Year 2020—$84.9 million  \nFrom the Field  \nWhen Colby WhiteThunder first joined the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas youth council, he was a“real shy” teen who kept to himself. Now a youth ambassador and mentor to his Tribe’s children, Mr. WhiteThunder says he owes thanks to “almost a tapestry” of people—from his mother, aunts, and uncles to leaders at OJJDP partner UNITY (United National Indian Tribal Youth) and OJJDP’s Tribal Youth Resource Center. Their guidance helped Mr. WhiteThunder identify his strengths, develop confidence, and deepen his identity as a Native person.  \nAs an aide for his Tribe’s youth programs, Mr. WhiteThunder knows the kids “watch me, the stuff I do.” He sums up his approach to life simply:“We’re here to be good people, tobe kind to one another—to be good stewards of our own families and treat others good.”  \nOffice of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention [ojjdp.ojp.gov](ojjdp.ojp.gov)","cbCailyB537fsOBy","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailyB537fsOBy","pdf",186532,"English","# Mentoring Youth\n## National and Multistate Mentoring Programs\n## Mentoring for Youth Affected by the Opioid Crisis and Drug Addiction\n## Training and Technical Assistance\n## National Mentoring Resource Center\n## Funding\n## From the Field","[{\"question\":\"What outcomes does OJJDP expect from youth mentoring programs?\",\"answer\":\"The document states that successful mentoring relationships can increase youth self-esteem, improve academic achievement, and help steer youth away from delinquency, substance use, and other high-risk behaviors.\"},{\"question\":\"How does OJJDP try to improve mentoring access and quality?\",\"answer\":\"OJJDP works with partners to boost mentor recruitment, enhance mentor-mentee matches, and increase the number of youth who have mentors.\"},{\"question\":\"What funding did OJJDP provide for mentoring between 2020 and 2022?\",\"answer\":\"Between fiscal years 2020 and 2022, OJJDP awarded more than $262 million for mentoring opportunities and to improve mentoring quality, including $87.9 million in 2022, $89.4 million in 2021, and $84.9 million in 2020.\"}]","Mentoring Youth - OJJDP January 2023 | PDF",1792059840]
