Young People with mentors are:
• 46% less likely to begin using illegal drugs;
• 27% less likely to begin using alcohol;
• 52% less likely to skip school;
• 37% less likely to skip class;
• More confident in their ability to perform in school;
• Able to get along better with their families.
Because of statistics like these, many educational and youth service institutions have realized the value of youth mentoring as the preeminent intervention strategy.
However, developing an effective youth mentoring program that can boast numbers like these entails more than readily meets the eye.
Unfortunately, far too many organizations have developed programs without the benefit of formal study, training or assistance. Therefore, Solutions 4 Non-Profits has opened enrollment for the Mentoring College.
The Mentoring College was specially designed to help Youth Service and Educational Institutions develop, expand and improve youth mentoring programs.
Our 14-course program can be delivered over a number of months or a number of weeks based on your need.
