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, enhancementor-mentee matches, and increase the number of youth who have mentors. From 2017 through the first half of 2021, OJJDP’s programs recruited nearly 143,000 new mentors and served more than 971,000 youth nationwide.  \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.)  \nFunding  \nBetween fscal years 2019 and 2021, OJJDP awarded $258.3 million to increase mentoring opportunities for youth and to improve the quality of the mentoring they receive.  \n` Fiscal Year 2021—$89.4 million  \n` Fiscal Year 2020—$84.9 million  \n` Fiscal Year 2019—$84 million  \nFrom the Field  \n“Horrifying,” is how Kyndall Miller describes her college application process.“My whole life we lived in low-income areas and my schools were not great,” shares the Kentucky native.“I’m a first-generation college student; I had no one holding my hand and telling me what to do.”  \nIn need of guidance, Kyndall turned to her mentor from Covington Partners, an OJJDP grantee in Covington, KY, for help.“She was an affirming voice. She encouraged me and believed I could do it. That meant so much.”  \nNow a first-year student at the University of Louisville, Kyndall is giving back—as a youth advisor to OJJDP’s National Mentoring Resource Center and as a volunteer at a local mentoring organization, helping children develop literacy skills. Mentoring has been instrumental to Kyndall’s success and she is determined to help other underserved youth achieve their dreams.  \nOffice of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention  \nNCJ 253045 [ojjdp.ojp.gov](ojjdp.ojp.gov)","cbCaiscHoEGBvYIb","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiscHoEGBvYIb","pdf",190813,"English","# Mentoring Youth\n## OJJDP’s Mentoring Impact and Partnerships\n## Programs\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 aim to achieve through mentoring programs?\",\"answer\":\"OJJDP’s mentoring investments aim to increase youths’ self-esteem, improve academic achievement, and help steer youth away from delinquency, substance use, and other high-risk behaviors.\"},{\"question\":\"Which mentoring programs does OJJDP provide?\",\"answer\":\"OJJDP supports national and multistate one-on-one, group, and peer mentoring, plus grants for youth affected by the opioid crisis and drug addiction.\"},{\"question\":\"How does OJJDP fund mentoring between 2019 and 2021?\",\"answer\":\"Between fiscal years 2019 and 2021, OJJDP awarded $258.3 million, including $89.4 million in 2021, $84.9 million in 2020, and $84 million in 2019.\"}]","Mentoring Youth - OJJDP Overview - Programs, Training & Funding | PDF",1792059344]
