Description :
Mentoring programs match a young person (mentee) with a more experienced person who is working in a non-professional capacity (mentor) to help provide support and guidance to the mentee in one or more areas of the menteeās development. There are 4 types of Mentoring programs: Community, Juvenile Justice, School, and Youth Initiated.
School-based mentors meet with youth on school premises to focus on school-related issues. The goal of this relationship is to improve youth attendance, grades, and attitudes toward school so that the youth is more likely to graduate.
