THIS GRANT’S FOCUS: Opioid/Substance Use and Abuse, Youth Mentoring, At-risk Youth, Health, Mental Health, Opioid Crisis
Deadline: Oct. 23, 2025
“This NOFO will enhance and expand mentoring services for children and youth affected by opioids and other substance use, as well as their families. Mentoring services may include one-on-one, group, or peer mentoring—or a combination of these approaches. In addition to mentoring services, this NOFO may support supplemental activities that are consistent with the proposed mentoring model and have a clear connection to the mentoring program. Up to 20 percent of the total funds may be allocated for other non-mentoring direct services, such as mental health treatment, substance use treatment, or other supportive services identified and aligned with the project design.
Category 1: Local Project Sites (Anticipated Award Amount: $650,000) Category 1 will provide mentoring services as part of a prevention, treatment, recovery, and supportive approach for those youth impacted by substance use in a local jurisdiction.
Category 2: Statewide and Regional (Anticipated Award Amount: $1,980,000) Category 2 supports a broad-based approach to building mentoring program capacity in targeted regions throughout the country to help youth impacted by substance use. This category will support statewide or regional approaches to expanding mentoring services for youth in areas with demonstrated high levels of substance use—especially rural communities.”
