VIDEO WEBCAST FOR THE 2004 APPLICATION

Safe and Drug-Free Schools-Mentoring Program

The Safe and Drug-Free Schools-Mentoring Program grant provides assistance to promote mentoring programs that assist children in receiving support and guidance from a mentor; improve the academic performance of children; improve interpersonal relationships between children and their peers, teachers, other adults, and family members; reduce the dropout rate of children; and reduce juvenile delinquency and involvement in gangs by children. Faith-based and community organizations are eligible to apply provided they meet applicable statutory and regulatory requirements.

In an effort to provide technical assistance to faith-based and community organizations, the Center for Faith-Based and Community Initiatives has produced this webcast to serve as a grant writing tutorial for the Safe and Drug-Free Schools-Mentoring Program.

This webcast is best seen using a high-speed Internet connection. If you have trouble viewing this presentation, you may wish to use a high-speed connection at a local library.
