Creates federal grants to connect foster youth with caring mentors
This bill would set aside money for programs that connect children and young adults in or formerly in foster care with mentors. These mentors would help them with school, life skills, and building healthy relationships. The goal is to improve their well-being and future. A new federal grant program would fund these efforts.
Today, no specific federal grant program under the Social Security Act supports mentoring for children in foster care or those with foster care experience. This bill would create a new federal grant program. It would set aside $50 million for each of the government's budget years 2026 and 2027. This funding would go to organizations that provide structured, long-term mentoring for foster youth up to age 26.
