"Mentoring ensures that a youth has at least one supportive person in their life that can encourage growth and development and serve as a connection to their community. Youth involved in the same mentoring relationship for a year or more reported improvements in school work and social relationships. Mentors can be instrumental in helping youth develop and can be both a challenging and comforting agent on a youth"s journey toward independence.
