- 15. The Reward
- 16. Mentoring as Social Policy Gary Walker: Public/Private Ventures 2007 • There is evidence (as cited) that mentoring is an effective strategy for improving the lives, behavior and performance of many youth; • There is considerable skepticism about the effectiveness of other types of programming for youth , particularly those for adolescents; and • Mentoring is a direct response to the overall reduction of adults in the lives of youth.
- 17. Mentoring as Social Policy: The Challenges • The “Zero-Sum” Game • The Limits of Scale • Quality Control • Mentoring is not a panacea for all youth • Mentoring alone may not be enough
- 18. A Cautionary Tale : It’s not just “any mentoring”” Recruiting strategies for both mentors and mentees must be based on realistic expectations (Spencer, 2007) Matching based on mentor’s skills, interpersonal skills and common interests with youth are important considerations (Spencer, 2006) Elements of Effective Practice: 3rd Edition MENTOR (2009) Mentor screening practices have implications for safety and match duration (DuBois & Neville, 1997) Mentors receiving pre- match training reported higher levels of confidence, efficacy and closeness to their mentees and were more likely to continue for a second year (Herrera , 2007)

Notes de l'éditeur
- Just a note about the font – I tested it out on several people and they all preferred Arial… and didn’t think it took anything away from the storybook slides. Content note – will you make connections to stages of the mentoring relationship and about the mentor (Charlotte’s) approach to the mentee (Wilbur)? She is a good example I think of balancing relational and goal-oriented approaches.
- Could you say “What does this mean for program developers and program staff?” and just have the visual that shows the path between research and practice… also introducing the hiking theme.
- Would like to break this into 4 slides – slide 27 with a screen shot of the QMAP, slide 28 with an example of a logic model as an image; slide 29 with a photo of volunteers or mentor/mentee; and slide 4 with MPM and MENTOR logos.
