home overview table of contents editors bibliography Overview of the Handbook During the past decade, mentoring of youth has become an immensely popular and widespread concept. There are now more than 4,500 agencies and programs that offer mentoring services in the U.S. alone as well as a rapidly growing presence of mentoring initiatives in other countries. Reflecting these trends, a recent national survey found that approximately 2.5 million adults (1.2% of those surveyed) had provided one-to-one mentoring to a young person in a formal mentoring program. A much larger number, approximately one-third (34%) of all adults, reported that they have mentored a young person in the past year when less structured avenues for mentoring were considered. As this latter trend indicates, so-called naturally-occurring mentoring relationships that take root outside of formal programs are commonplace in today's society. is designed to address this need. The Handbook is intended to be a valuable resource across the wide range of academic disciplines in which there are active programs of research on youth mentoring. The handbook also is designed to address the needs of professionals, such as program administrators and policy makers. This will be accomplished through an accessible, non-technical style of presentation and detailed discussions of implications for practice.

Liguori Publications, 2004 (0-7648-1015-4) $11.95 This 136-page book is for every adult who cares about kids. The African proverb, "It takes a whole village to raise a child," was never more true than it is today. Parents are overwhelmed and overstressed. Just earning a living for a family is hard enough. Add to that an obsession with a career or another self-satisfying fixation, divorce, addiction, a debilitating illness or affliction, distorted family values or an inability to prioritize and you have families with serious parenting deficits. Even in two-parent households, the most basic needs of our children aren’t always being met. Few families today have the personal support of extended family members. Neighborhood networks are unraveling. Communities lack the resources to help the families who are struggling. And our children are suffering because of it. Children need to feel that someone cares. A young person who has a strong support system of adults or even just one significant adult in his or her life outside of his parents, is less likely to engage in destructive behavior. Kids who have positive role models will be less likely to fall into a gang or become involved in other risky situations. What can a grandparent, neighbor, teacher or friend do to help? You can become a formal or informal youth mentor.

Contact Information DSHS programs provide mentors to youth who: Have families afflicted by abuse of drugs or alcohol, or both. Are living in foster care because their birth families cannot or will provide adequate care for them. Are in juvenile rehabilitation. Are learning to live and excel with disabilities. Kids need mentors as never before According to 2004 State of Mentoring Report of the Washington State Mentoring Partnership, 240,000 youth in Washington are at-risk and need the mentoring of a caring adult. Only 20,000 - 8 percent - have mentors. Mentoring works The Washington State Institute for Public Policy has studied the mentoring program in Washington's juvenile justice system, finding it reduced recidivism, or re-offending, and returns $3.58 of benefit to society for every dollar spent. Research consistently shows that kids benefit from relationships with caring adults in addition to parents. A study of 1,000 young people for Big Brothers Big Sisters showed that, compared to other groups, children with mentors were 46 % less likely to begin using illegal drugs, 27% less likely to begin using alcohol, 53 % less likely to skip school, 33% less likely to engage in school violence. They also showed improved peer and family relationships.

Youth Mentorship RESCUE Youth Mentoring Program Download "RESCUE" Pamphlet Rescue Mentor Profiles Whittier Peer Mentoring Program RESCUE Youth Mentoring Program Developed by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office and Fire Department, the RESCUE Youth Program provides a firefighter mentor for young people ages 12 to 14 who are not yet involved in criminal activities, but are exhibiting at-risk behavior. It’s goal is to provide young people with the skills and relationships that will help them avoid gang involvement and other criminal activities. The RESCUE Youth Program promotes the concept of one-on-one mentoring as a success strategy to do just that. District Attorney staff interview students who are referred to the office by local school districts because of truancy, disciplinary problems, poor academic performance, or other at-risk indicators. District Attorney staff then match each student with a firefighter who volunteers to serve as a mentor at a designated fire station near the student’s home. Once placed at a fire station, RESCUE students participate in a variety of activities designed to help them develop a positive "big brother"-type relationship with their firefighter mentor and to promote the importance of regular school attendance. Through one-on-one communication, interaction around the station, and the learning of practical skills, firefighter mentors help students develop values that are often in short supply in their lives: self-esteem, problem-solving skills, teamwork, and goal development. Incentives – such as field trips, emergency kits, and emergency call ride-along opportunities – enhance the students’ experience in the program.

Natural Mentoring Relationships and Adolescent Health Natural mentoring relationships positively impact teens, but these relationships do not meet all the needs of at-risk youth. Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System The Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System monitors health risk behaviors that contribute markedly to the leading causes of death, disability, and social problems among youth and adults in the United States. Why a National Research Agenda for Youth Mentoring? Because, right now, 15 million young Americans are waiting for mentors. From experience and even limited research, we know mentoring works. But, we need to know more. Mentoring is not a "one-size-fits-all" proposition. Each child has unique needs: the type of mentoring relationship that addresses one child's needs may not address another's. We must find out why different types of mentoring are effective for some children, but not for others. We also need to know how we can strengthen and improve mentoring efforts based on this understanding. To find the answers
