Environmental Challenges
- Significant mentoring gap exists in America, especially for at-risk youth. More than one in three young people (an estimated 16 million) never had an adult mentor.
Mitigation Strategies
- Recommendations for closing the mentoring gap, including leveraging mentoring to address national challenges, ensuring young people most in need have quality mentoring relationships, expanding local, state, and federal policies that advance quality mentoring, ensuring all structured mentoring is quality mentoring, facilitating connections between research and practice, and exploring innovations to close the mentoring gap.
