Mentoring to Succeed Act of 2021

Bill 117 HR 4076, also known as the Mentoring to Succeed Act of 2021, aims to provide support and resources for mentoring programs across the United States. The bill recognizes the importance of mentorship in helping individuals succeed in various aspects of their lives, including education, career development, and personal growth.

The Mentoring to Succeed Act of 2021 seeks to establish a grant program within the Department of Education to fund mentoring programs for at-risk youth, including those from low-income families, foster youth, and individuals involved in the juvenile justice system. These programs would focus on providing guidance, support, and positive role models to help these individuals reach their full potential.

Additionally, the bill emphasizes the importance of evidence-based practices in mentoring programs, requiring grantees to demonstrate the effectiveness of their programs through data collection and evaluation. This ensures that federal funding is being used efficiently and effectively to support the success of mentees. Overall, the Mentoring to Succeed Act of 2021 aims to expand access to quality mentoring programs for at-risk youth and provide them with the support they need to thrive. By investing in mentorship, the bill seeks to empower individuals to overcome challenges, achieve their goals, and contribute positively to their communities.
