From the notice

This is a notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) for the OJJDP FY 2026 Mentoring for Youth Impacted by Opioids and Other Substance Use program. This opportunity supports the implementation and delivery of high-quality mentoring services for youth who are currently using or dependent on substances, as well as youth at risk of substance use or who have close family members experiencing substance use or dependency. Mentoring services may include one-on-one, group, or peer mentoring—or a combination of these approaches or hybrid (traditional in-person combined with virtual mentoring).
