Title: Cross-Age Peer Mentorship Programs in Schools (Information Resource)
Description: It is widely accepted that youngsters benefit from having a positive, caring, adult role model. At schools, there are a range of adults who can be such models. At the same time, it is clear that many students do not have a personal connection to an adult at school. This is where mentoring
programs can help fill a critical gap. The benefits of mentoring programs
are described not only as helping individual students but as contributing to
establishment of a safe and positive school climate.Access at: http://smhp.psych.ucla.edu/pdfdocs/mentoring.pdf
