What We Learned in 2002 Average youth in a

program experience only a “modest or small benefit”

Effects are “enhanced significantly” when more best-practices are utilized

American Journal of Community Psychology, Vol. 30, No. 2, April 2002

Good NewsMentoring works in many areas

Programs often have positive impacts in two or more outcome domains

Effect of mentoring is right in line with other youth interventions

Mentoring works at both preventing declines in youth outcomes and promoting improvements

Mentoring is a broad and flexible strategy

No evidence of improved effectiveness over prior generation of programs

Too few studies to evaluate impacts on several key outcomes (e.g., school drop-out, juvenile offending)

Same largely true for longer-term, “follow-up” effects

Targeting “at risk” youth (exception: populations high on both individual and environmental risk)

Matching youth and mentors based on similarity of interests

Utilizing mentors with educational/occupational backgrounds that are a good fit with program goals

Supporting mentors in adopting teaching and advocacy roles
