IMPACT OF MENTORSHIP
What is the impact of having a mentor in someone’s life?
Whether the burdens come from the hardship of poverty, the challenges of parental substance abuse or serious mental illness, the stress of war, the threats of recurrent violence or chorionic neglect, or a combination of factors, the sing most common finding is that children who end up doing well have had at least one stable and committed relationship with a supportive parents, caregiver or other adult.
– National Scientific Council on the Developing Child (2015)
Youth programming efforts must create opportunities for young people to develop and cultivate positive, meaningful, and healthy relationships with peers, mentors, and adults. The ability to identify and connect with others helps to strengthen a sense of group membership, self-concept, and self-esteem of the individual (Hogg and Abrams 2007). In addition, healthy and positive group identification can help promote youth development by promoting identity formation and the ability to cope with normative developmental issues.
