Creditable Mentoring Services

The District of Columbia’s Neighborhood Safety and Engagement office is forecasting a contract for Creditable Mentoring Services designed to support individuals undergoing reentry into the community and pursuing workforce development. The program will deploy trained mentors who ideally possess lived experience or relevant backgrounds to offer personalized guidance, accountability, and sustained support to participants. These mentoring relationships are intended to foster stability, build skills, and promote successful long-term outcomes by addressing barriers to reintegration through consistent one-on-one engagement. The initiative will focus on connecting participants with mentors who can provide practical insights and emotional support tailored to their unique circumstances. While specific details such as funding, duration, eligibility criteria, and performance metrics are not yet available, the service model emphasizes the value of peer-based mentorship in reducing recidivism and enhancing employment readiness. The solicitation is posted under the agency’s forecasting system, with no set-aside designations or NAICS code provided at this stage, and the place of performance is expected to be within the District of Columbia. Interested parties are encouraged to monitor the official portal for upcoming formal solicitations.
