Drawing on over thirty years of research and her own experience in the field, Jean Rhodes reveals that most mentoring programs fail to deliver what young people actually need. Many prioritize building emotional bonds between mentors and mentees. However, research shows that effective programs go far beyond this, developing specific social, emotional, and intellectual skills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMost mentoring programs rely on volunteers, who rarely have the training to teach these skills. Their one-size-fits-all models struggle to meet the diverse needs of mentees and rarely take account of the psychological effects of poverty on children. Rhodes doesn't think we should give up on mentoring—far from it. Instead, she recommends \u003ci\u003eorganic\u003c\/i\u003e mentorship opportunities—in schools, youth sports leagues, and community organizations—and shares specific approaches that can spark meaningful change in young people's lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000692130028,"sku":"9780674292277","price":37.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/1424653482428.jpg?v=1763297781"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/jean-e-rhodes.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
