The Mentoring to Succeed Act of 2025 would create competitive grants for eligible community organizations and partnerships to start or expand youth mentoring programs. Programs would pair eligible young people with trained, screened mentors and offer support such as career exploration, job training, work experiences, and preparation for further education. The bill would also require annual program reports and a federal study of mentoring programs. It was introduced in the Senate and referred to committee.
If enacted, eligible youth could take part in grant-supported mentoring programs. Activities could include meeting mentors, exploring careers, preparing for college or vocational training, and gaining work experience. The bill would prioritize some organizations serving youth with greater needs, including youth in high-poverty or rural communities. It does not guarantee a place in a program for any individual.
The bill authorizes amounts as needed for fiscal years 2026 through 2030, but does not specify dollar amounts.
