relationships with other adults to
supplement and in some cases,
substitute for relationships with their
parents. Mentoring partnered with
other interventions is one of the most
promising approaches intended to
promote positive youth outcomes.
Studies show (Mentoring Synthesis -
Edna McConnell Clark Foundation)
that on an overall basis youth
participating in mentoring
relationships improved on some
educational measures, they show
promise in helping youth develop
healthy and safe behaviors, improve
a number of social and behavioral
outcomes. There is also some
relation to increase young adult self
sufficiency. Mentoring is needed
because issues of contemporary
society limit young people's access to
adults, (isolation of youth in poor
communities, high rates of divorce,
single parenting and few institutions
and activities to support youth and
their families), youth experiencing
unsatisfactory or rejecting parental
relationships and the typical stress of
being adolescence. Mentoring plays
an important role in meeting the
needs of youth providing some sense
of security, stability, structure and
feeling of safety. Participants will be
referred as a part of intake / initial
