About
Mentoring
There are many different ways to describe
mentoring, but they all boil down to one
thing: a positive, supportive relationship between
a young person and a caring adult.
Definition of Mentoring
Mentoring is a one-to-one relationship of
consistent contact between a volunteer and a child.
The relationship sets out to build the child's
self-esteem, teach life and/or academic skills, and
to encourage the avoidance of negative behavior, so
that the child grows into a productive adult.
Mentoring Works
Research has shown that children with mentors
are less likely to do drugs and more likely to
succeed in school.
The numbers don't lie!
School-based Programs
Mentors in school-based programs meet
with their child on school property during the
school day. Mentoring programs can differ by their
focus: some emphasis relationship building, other
focus more on improving academic skills, still
others combine the two.
