Grant Overview
Delaware's foster youth population faces significant challenges, with 4,144 children in foster care as of 2022. The lack of guidance and support can lead to poor life outcomes. This mentorship program pairs experienced adults with foster children to help navigate life skills and decision-making. By fostering meaningful relationships, the initiative improves social and emotional development. Delaware's program targets foster youth aged 12-18, a critical age range for intervention. Eligible applicants include non-profit organizations with experience in foster youth support and a presence in Delaware. The application requires demonstration of existing partnerships with local foster care agencies. Unlike neighboring Pennsylvania, Delaware's small size allows for a more targeted approach to mentorship. Delaware's Rural Landscape: The state's rural areas, such as Sussex County, face significant challenges due to limited resources. Breaking Down Barriers for Delaware's Foster Youth: The state's unique geography, with a mix of urban and rural areas, demands adaptable mentorship approaches. What Makes Delaware Different? The state's small size and high percentage of foster youth require a focused mentorship strategy. Delaware's Demographic Landscape: The state's diverse population, with significant African American and Hispanic communities, demands culturally sensitive mentorship approaches.
