New federal grants would help young people get mentors and job skills.
This bill would set up a new federal grant program to support youth mentoring across the country. It would help young people, especially those facing challenges, develop social-emotional skills, explore careers, and prepare for jobs. Community groups and partnerships could apply for these grants to create or expand mentoring programs.
Currently, the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act does not have a specific federal grant program for youth mentoring. This means there's no dedicated federal funding stream for groups to start or expand these programs. If this bill becomes law, it would create a new competitive grant program under that Act. This would allow community groups and partnerships to apply for federal money to establish, expand, or improve mentoring programs for young people, focusing on their skills and job readiness.
