Making a Difference in Schools- the big brothers big sisters School-based mentoring impact study
| August 28, 2007 |  View for printing |
With growing pressure to improve student performance, schools are increasingly looking outside their doors for programs that can enrich children’s lives academically and socially.
As part of these efforts, many schools have begun partnering with programs that provide their students with mentors—adults or older youth who visit students on the school campus, typically one hour a week during or after school, to provide them with friendship, support and academic help.
It is hoped that by providing children with more one-on-one attention, they will be more ready to learn during class time.
