Summary:

Five bills have been introduced in the 110th Congress that primarily concern mentoring (S. 379, H.R. 2611/S. 1812, H.R. 5660, and H.R. 5810). Issues relevant to the federal role in mentoring include the limitations of research on outcomes for mentored youth, the potential need for additional mentors, grantees' challenges in sustaining funding, and the possible discontinuation of federal mentoring funding.
