Mentoring as part of birth-to-work
Mentoring has been offered as a solution for many social and education problems. However, making mentoring programs available where they are most needed and keeping them in place for many years as part of a workforce-development strategy requires greater understanding and commitment.

When the Mayor or the President propose mentoring as a part of education reform, violence prevention and/or workforce development, do they include a graphic like this? 

If a youth is in elementary school when he/she connects with a mentor, and lives in a high poverty inner-city neighborhood, the short term affects of the mentor's involvement may be lost in future years as other stronger influences appear in the youth's life. A program that connects a mentor and other learning experiences to a youth may need to be in place until that youth is out of high school or in a job.

Making such programs available in many poverty neighborhoods of big cities like Chicago, New York, London, etc. requires thinking similar to what leaders of big companies use to make multiple retail stores available in many locations.

Connect with these ideas in this discussion.
