## FY 2005 Mentoring Programs (CFDA 84.184B)

The Mentoring Programs discretionary grant competition makes awards to
local educational agencies, non-profit community-based organizations, or
partnerships between the two, to promote school-based mentoring programs
for children with the greatest need. These projects seek to assist
children in receiving support and guidance from a mentor; improve their
academic achievement; improve interpersonal relationships with their
peers, teachers, other adults, and family members; reduce their rate of
dropping out of school; and reduce levels of juvenile delinquency and
involvement in gangs.

Projects must serve children with the greatest need in one or more
grades 4 -- 8 that reside in rural or high crime areas or troubled
environments, or who attend schools with violence problems. Applicants
receiving awards under this program have developed projects that link
children with mentors that will receive training and support in
mentoring, have been screened using appropriate background checks, and
are interested in working with children with greatest need.

Funded programs are designed to achieve one or more of the following
goals: (1) assist these children in receiving support and guidance from
a mentor; (2) improve the academic performance of the children; (3)
improve interpersonal relationships between the children and their
peers, teachers, other adults, and family members; (4) reduce the
dropout rate of the children; and (5) reduce the children's juvenile
delinquency and involvement in gangs.
