Grant Overview

At-risk youth in Connecticut face significant barriers to educational and career success, with 1 in 5 students reporting they have considered dropping out of school. The state's youth mentorship program aims to address this issue by linking at-risk youth to successful professionals in various industries. Who faces these challenges? Local youth, particularly those from low-income backgrounds and minority communities, are disproportionately affected by these barriers. In Connecticut, 30% of youth from low-income families report having a mentor, compared to 50% of their more affluent peers. The mentorship program aims to bridge this gap by providing career guidance and support. ## Mentorship in Connecticut's Urban Communities Connecticut's urban areas face distinct challenges in supporting at-risk youth, including higher rates of poverty and crime. Successful applicants will demonstrate an understanding of these challenges and propose mentorship programs that address them. Unlike neighboring states, Connecticut requires applicants to demonstrate experience working with the state's specific youth populations, including juvenile justice-involved youth. ## Connecticut's Youth Mentorship Landscape The state's youth mentorship program will build on existing initiatives, which have shown promise in improving educational and career outcomes for at-risk youth. By expanding these efforts, the program aims to create a lasting impact on the state's youth population.
