Today, changes are occurring at a rapid pace in our society, and some changes are staring at us in the face. Why are Christians depending on others to do God's work? There is a need out there, and it is with our youth. We are in a generation that has left our youth in a precarious position—broken homes from divorce, stepfathers and stepmothers raising children, single parents, grandparents raising their grandchildren, foster homes, children living out of suitcases, and children raising children. Where are the leaders, and where are the Christians? Mentoring Youth in Action is dedicated to filling the void that has been imposed upon our youth. Author Mark Stiles has developed a unique, easily taught curriculum for youth, with one-of-a-kind illustrations. This seven-session course is a balanced presentation of content and application designed to assist youth in understanding how God can help them to cope with the challenges facing each of them. It is important not to overload students with content, but instead show them the relevance of further study of God's work, as well as how to apply what they've learned to their own lives.

Given the acknowledgment that not all mentoring relationships are effective and, in some cases, they can do more harm than good, and recent expansion in size and number of formal youth mentoring programs, researchers have begun an exploration of predictors of enduring and beneficial matches. Although little research focuses on race and ethnicity issues among younger youth in formal mentoring programs, some research on the natural and formal mentoring relationships of late adolescent or college-aged ethnic minorities suggests that cultural differences seem to play a role in the expectation, attainment, and experience of mentoring. Ethnicity and race may play a role in the ways that mentors and mentees relate to each other. More specifically, the quality of mentoring relationships may be shaped by the way race-related issues are negotiated by mentor-mentee pairs. Cultural values may impact the types of mentors that are sought, the quality of the connection between mentor and mentee, and may influence level of initiative that results in miscommunication or misinterpretation of social cues by culturally unaware mentors. Recommendations for translating research into action and a case example of a culturally sensitive mentoring program are included. The article is followed by suggestions on how practitioners can incorporate the research findings into mentoring programs and a list of additional resources. [The 10-issue "Research in Action" series, edited by Jean E. Rhodes, is the initial project of the MENTOR Research and Policy Council, charged with taking current mentoring research and translating it into useful, user-friendly materials for mentoring practitioners.

While not discounting the importance of natural mentoring relationships, mentoring that occurs within the context of youth development (YD) programs may be particularly beneficial in the promotion of positive youth development (PYD). Effective, high-quality and enduring mentoring is associated with the capacity for youth to engage in high-quality social relationships, to have greater academic achievement, school engagement, school adjustment, and to view their futures more positively. Some programs to enhance positive development and civic engagement succeed better than others. This article discusses the features of programs that are most associated with healthy and positive youth development: (1) Sustained, positive adult-youth relations; (2) Youth life-skill building activities; and (3) Youth participation and leadership of valued community activities. Practitioners that are engaged in effective mentoring and providing youth with opportunities to build life skills and to undertake leadership of valued community activities can facilitate the development among young people of 5 C's of PYD: (1) Competence; (2) Confidence; (3) Connection; (4) Character; and (5) Caring as well as a sixth C of Contribution, both to self and to society. The article is followed by suggestions on how practitioners can incorporate the research findings into mentoring programs and a list of additional resources. (Contains 1 figure.)

A child at loose ends needs help, and someone steps in--a Big Brother, a Big Sister, a mentor from the growing ranks of volunteers offering their time and guidance to more than two million American adolescents. Does it help? How effective are mentoring programs, and how do they work? Are there pitfalls, and if so, what are they? Such questions, ever more pressing as youth mentoring initiatives expand their reach at a breakneck pace, have occupied Jean Rhodes for more than a decade. In this provocative, thoroughly researched, and lucidly written book, Rhodes offers readers the benefit of the latest findings in this burgeoning field, including those from her own extensive, groundbreaking studies. Outlining a model of youth mentoring that will prove invaluable to the many administrators, caseworkers, volunteers, and researchers who seek reliable information and practical guidance, Stand by Me describes the extraordinary potential that exists in such relationships, and discloses the ways in which nonparent adults are uniquely positioned to encourage adolescent development. Yet the book also exposes a rarely acknowledged risk: unsuccessful mentoring relationships--always a danger when, in a rush to form matches, mentors are dispatched with more enthusiasm than understanding and preparation--can actually harm at-risk youth. Vulnerable children, Rhodes demonstrates, are better left alone than paired with mentors who cannot hold up their end of the relationships. Drawing on work in the fields of psychology and personal relations, Rhodes provides concrete suggestions for improving mentoring programs and creating effective, enduring mentoring relationships with youth.

Recognizing that some early endings are unavoidable, the author maintains that many mentor-mentee relationships quickly dissolve due to factors that may be avoidable, such as disappointment and dissatisfaction with the relationship. Findings from a range of research studies are offered. Higher levels of program support may be required for matches made with older youth and those with more complex problems. Early attention to expectations mentors and youth bring to the mentoring relationship is also cited, including discussion of ending the relationship appropriately. Training directed toward helping mentors identify some of their cultural and class-based values and beliefs and developing skills for effectively engaging in cross-cultural relationships with youth could be critical to the success of some mentoring relationships. Monitoring of matches and ongoing training for mentors are among the program practices associated with more positive youth outcomes, a practice that may also serve to reduce early endings. Regular contact with matches on a periodic basis may provide program staff the opportunity to identify difficulties as they arise and step in to provide assistance or to facilitate termination if necessary. Ongoing training may provide mentors with the chance to receive assistance with challenging situations and assist them with continued development of their skills as a mentor. By identifying and addressing common pitfalls in formal mentoring relationships, programs can better support mentors and youth in their efforts to build close, enduring, and growth-promoting relationships. The article is followed by suggestions on how practitioners can incorporate the research findings into mentoring programs and a list of additional resources.
