The program's goal is to improve outcomes for at-risk and high-risk youth, and reduce negative outcomes through mentoring. The program objectives are to increase the number of at-risk or high-risk youth receiving mentoring services; increase the number of screened and well-trained mentors; and develop and implement program design enhancements that align with research and evidence on effective mentoring approaches.
