Bill overview
The Foster Youth Mentoring Act of 2025 aims to support and expand mentoring programs for children and youth who have experienced foster care. It authorizes the Secretary of Social Security to provide grants to organizations – including nonprofits, state agencies, and tribal entities – to create or strengthen mentoring networks. These programs will focus on providing consistent, structured support to youth, addressing their academic, social, and emotional needs, and ultimately improving their long-term outcomes. The bill emphasizes the importance of culturally responsive and trauma-informed mentoring practices.
