Recent evaluations have shown the importance and effectiveness of mentoring programs in the lives of adolescents. Volume 9(1) of The Prevention Researcher explores this important prevention method which focuses on the positive relationship between an adult and a youth, instead of problems and risk factors a youth may have.

Within this issue, the concept of mentoring is explored, a framework for setting up a school-based program is provided, benchmarks for gauging program effectiveness are given, and the impact of mentoring is examined.
