Long Island Exchange Message Board LONG ISLAND YOUTH MENTORING The Mission of Long Island Youth Mentoring: To assist the Christian church on Long Island in the responsible evangelism of troubled youth and their families, providing them with hope through caring relationships and developmental opportunities for the whole person (spiritual, mental, physical, and social). The One-to-One Ministry Troy comes from a home with barely enough food on the table. His clothes are hand-me-downs, which are raggedy looking at best. Troy's dad has been in and out of jail and rarely comes by to see him. When he does come by there is usually a great deal of anxiety because of his history of violent behavior. Troy has been matched to Carl for almost two years. Carl is a gentle-spirited, faithful mentor who has had a huge impact on Troy. Troy feels valued and loved. When Troy's Area Director arrived for a visit Troy had his baseball cap on and his mitt in hand. Since he lives across the street from a schoolyard, the two went to have a game of catch. While throwing the ball back and forth Troy was repeatedly distracted by something on the ground. He finally called his Area Director over to show him what it was. He began to pick up change that someone had dropped. He kept finding more as he kicked the dirt around. By the time Troy was finished, he had collected six quarters. They must have been there for quite a while because they were caked with dirt. That did not seem to matter to Troy, who saw past the dirt and scooped up what he thought was a fortune.

@import url(sky.css); Brief No. 4 Mentoring as a Family Strengthening Strategy Family Engagement in Youth Mentoring Programs There is growing interest and commitment to engaging parents and sharing leadership with parents in community and youth serving institutions.   But what role might family engagement play in traditional youth mentoring programs? Dr. Susan G. Weinberger, an international consultant on mentoring and a pioneer in designing and developing the first one-on-one school based mentoring program in the United States has commented on the role of families in youth mentoring: “After two decades of experience in establishing, maintaining and evaluating mentoring programs, I have found that, for the most part, the role of the family in the mentoring experience has been minimal.   It is time to take a look at the potential and benefits of the involvement of families in mentoring activities” (Weinberger, 2004). Other agencies and professionals in the mentoring movement have begun to examine the opportunities for family engagement in youth mentoring and the potential for mentoring programs to strengthen families.   With funding support from the Annie E. Casey Foundation, Big Brothers Big Sisters of America (BBBSA), undertook surveys and focus groups with staff and primary caregivers of mentored youth to understand how BBBS mentoring may add to the strength of the family and to determine the parents’ and caregivers’ interest in greater family involvement.

@import url(sky.css); Brief No. 4 Mentoring as a Family Strengthening Strategy Introduction to Mentoring Traditionally, mentoring is defined as a sustained relationship between a youth and an adult in which the adult offers support, guidance and assistance aimed at developing the competence and character of the young person (U.S. Department of Education, 1993; Rhodes 2002).   Adult mentors are expected to offer support and friendship, yet not try to change the youth’s behavior.   Trust and friendship are established between youth and adults through the participation in developmentally appropriate activities, which may include taking walks, attending a sporting activity, visiting the library, or simply sharing ideas or thoughts in informal conversations. Over time, mentoring programs have used a number of different approaches to serve a wide variety of purposes, including: Educational or Academic Mentoring to help youth improve their overall academic achievement;

Within those little moments lies the big magic that a Big Brother or Big Sister brings to the life of a young person. Professionals in youth development support these individual, responsible relationships.

January 21, 2003 VOL. 32, NO. 18 Youth Mentoring: Does It Work? JHU researchers launch initiative to evaluate ultimate outcomes By Greg Rienzi The Gazette The fantasy realm is dotted with great mentors. Good thing, too. If pitted against a dragon or foul-tempered ogre, it sure wouldn't hurt having a Merlin, Albus Dumbledore or Gandalf as a counsel. In the real world, life guides are also needed, especially for the young, says Tina Cheng, director of general pediatrics and adolescent medicine at the Johns Hopkins Children's Center . Cheng says that in a society where unintentional injury, homicide and suicide are the leading causes of death among those ages 15 to 24, mentoring isn't just about giving good advice; it's preventive medicine. Tina Cheng wants to determine if youth mentoring does in fact decrease problem behavior such as drug use, aggression and violence, all of which can cause morbidity and mortality. Cheng, who joined the Children's Center this past April, is among a small group of Hopkins researchers leading a multidivisional effort to both develop and evaluate youth mentoring programs. Cheng and her colleagues want to determine if mentoring programs can in fact enhance positive development and decrease problem behavior such as drug use, aggression and violence. Cheng says that without proper mentoringmeaning a relationship with someone who listens and offers guidancetoday's teenager can be put at risk.

Program Description Who Are We Mentoring? FAQ Benefits of Mentoring DISD Guidelines Contact Home Research on the Benefits of Mentoring Texas Education Agency All students who were enrolled in the 9th grade for the first time in 1996-97 school year were designated as the cohort group of the class of 1999-2000. After four years of high school each member of the cohort will be categorized as either (1) a graduate, (2) still in school, (3) a transfer, (4) a dropout, (5) an in-voluntary withdrawal, or (6) a voluntary withdrawal. The Texas Education Agency defines a dropout as a student who is absent without an approved excuse or documented transfer, and does not return to school in the fall of the following school year, or if he or she completes the school year but fails to re-enroll in the following school year. Involuntary withdrawals is used to describe those students who withdraw from school for reasons that are beyond their control such as poor health. Voluntary withdrawals includes those students who left school without graduating but do not belong in any of the other categories. A brief review of dropout data for the cohort of 1999-2000 will be shared in order to offer a better perspective of this student population since we will be targeting potential dropouts. It is envisioned that providing a caring adult to intervene with students in at-risk situations will decrease the possibility of having them drop out.

This grade level is critical in terms of students that are becoming credit-deficient and overage, thus potentially a school drop-out. Targeted high schools have been identified throughout the city.

Journal of Youth and Adolescence August, 2004 by Regina Day Langhout Volunteer mentoring programs have been advocated increasingly in such diverse areas as welfare reform, education, violence prevention, school-to-work transition, and national service (Freedman, 1993; Rhodes, 2002). Approximately 2.5 million youth are involved in mentoring programs, including more than 10,000 matches in Big Brothers/Big Sisters nationwide (Rhodes, 2002). Evaluations of volunteer mentoring, paraprofessional, and volunteer programs provide evidence of positive outcomes, including improvements in youth's self-concept and academic achievement (Linnehan, 2001; McPartland and Nettles, 1991), lower recidivism rates among juvenile delinquents (Davidson et al., 1987), and reductions in substance abuse (Aseltine et al., 2000; LoSciuto et al., 1996). ...
