OJJDP FY 2010 Second Chance Act Juvenile Mentoring Initiative
The Second Chance Act (P.L. 110-199) authorizes grants to government agencies
and nonprofit groups to provide employment assistance, substance abuse
treatment, housing, family programming, mentoring, victims’ support, and other
services to help adult and juvenile ex-offenders make a successful transition
from incarceration to the community. In support of this goal, OJJDP will
provide grants to support mentoring and other transitional services essential
to reintegrating juvenile offenders into their communities. The grants will be
used to mentor juvenile offenders during confinement, through transition back
to the community, and post-release; to provide transitional services to assist
them in their reintegration into the community; and to support training in offender
and victims issues. Targeted youth must be younger than 18 years old. The
initiative’s legislative authority is found in the Department of Justice
Appropriations Act, 2010 (Pub. L. 111-117).
