The grant will fund programs that provide mentorship, guidance, and support to help youth make positive life choices and avoid delinquent behavior. The DC Mayor's Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement is also working to address the root causes of violence and crime in the city, and this grant will complement those efforts. Another key outcome is to improve the educational outcomes of at-risk youth in Washington, DC.

The grant will also support programs that address the specific needs of youth in Washington, DC's frontier neighborhoods, such as those in Ward 8. The grant also prioritizes outcomes related to victimization recovery. Washington, DC has a high rate of violent crime, and many youth are exposed to trauma and violence. Mentoring programs funded by this grant will provide support and guidance to help youth recover from trauma and develop resilience. The DC Child and Family Services Agency is also working to address the needs of youth who have experienced trauma, and this grant will build on those efforts. To achieve these outcomes, the grant will fund programs that provide a range of services, including mentorship, counseling, and educational support. Programs will be expected to engage with other stakeholders in the city, including government agencies, community organizations, and businesses. For example, programs may partner with the DC Department of Employment Services to provide job training and placement services to participating youth.
