Its primary purpose is to facilitate the creation, expansion, and ongoing operation of one-on-one mentoring relationships for children of incarcerated parents. The program aims to connect youth aged four to eighteen with caring, screened, and trained adult volunteer mentors in community-based settings. Grantees will establish or enhance programs utilizing public and private community entities, focusing on areas with significant populations of children affected by parental incarceration.

| Description: | The Administration for Children and Families’ (ACF) Administration on Children, Youth and Families’ (ACYF) Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) is accepting applications for the Mentoring Children of Prisoners (MCP) program. This program supports the creation and maintenance of one-on-one mentoring relationships between children of incarcerated parents and caring, supportive adult volunteer mentors.
