Evaluating Advocacy-based Mentoring Models to Prevent and Reduce Delinquency
Thu, Nov 20, 3:30 to 4:50pm, Marriott, Salon 11, Lower B2 LevelSession Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel
Abstract
Recent meta-analyses have highlighted that mentoring can reduce indicators of delinquency and related risk factors. And those mentoring programs that incorporate advocacy roles, where the mentor facilitates a youth’s relationships with peers and/or other supportive adults and supports a youth’s engagement with appropriate activities and resources outside of the mentoring relationship, have shown larger program effects. This panel will explore the unique role advocacy-based mentoring may have for juvenile justice prevention and intervention, the challenges of evaluating that unique role, and the findings of one model.
