Quiver AI Summary
Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon and Rep. Don Bacon have introduced the Foster Youth Mentoring Act, aimed at enhancing mentoring programs for foster youth. This bipartisan legislation seeks to provide essential volunteer and peer mentorship to vulnerable young individuals, as many grow up without such support.
Rep. Scanlon emphasized the significant benefits of mentorship, stating, “At-risk youth with consistent, long-term volunteer and peer mentor relationships are much more likely to enroll in college.” Advocates argue that increasing resources for mentoring programs can lead to improved life outcomes for foster youth.
Industry leaders, including Jermaine Myrie of MENTOR, underscored the importance of connecting foster youth with supportive adults, highlighting the act's potential to mitigate feelings of isolation. The bill aims to establish a federal grant program promoting comprehensive mentoring initiatives.
