People, Places and Possibilities: Integrating Mentoring and After-School. Out-of-School Time Policy Commentary #11
Yohalem, Nicole; Gross, Beth; Pittman, Karen
Forum for Youth Investment
This commentary explores the relationship between mentoring and after-school, two fields that have garnered significant policy attention and momentum over the past several years. The question is not which makes more sense--mentoring or after-school--but how can we utilize both strategies to increase the likelihood that young people have the supports they need to thrive. (Contains 23 endnotes.)
