Abstract
This work summarizes the existing literature on mentorship models and their health impact and outcomes on the students they serve. I apply these findings to evaluate the experience of Community Partnership for Youth, a local after-school program in Monterey County, CA. This work explores the risks students face from 2 pm to 6 pm. Some supporting articles demonstrate the mentorship model's effectiveness, highlighting commonalities and differences between the relative merits of adult-to-youth and youth-to-youth paradigms. This work’s recommendations and implications involve staffing, training, and funding opportunities to ensure these programs' success.
