This is the Gold Standard for Youth Mentoring Information
27 Jun 2004
Format:Hardcover
Being involved in youth mentoring programs for the past 15 years, I have developed a large, personal library of mentoring resources. This new work may cause me to downsize my library, as it really "has it all" in a concise, interesting package. In addition to covering the basic framework of mentoring, Buckley and Zimmerman also present a plethora of resources for programs of all sizes and affiliations. I plan to use the book as both an orientation tool for new adult mentors as well as part of a pre-mentoring training for new mentees. It could also serve as a recruitment tool, as the information illuminates the world of mentoring to individuals who, perhaps, know little about the concept. I recommend that if you can only afford one book on the subject of youth mentoring, this would be the one.

comprehensive, short on more practical elements
1 Mar 2006
Format:Hardcover
A great resource to be sure, but a little slim I thought on more in-depth aspects of what makes a good mentor. Focus is high on how to develop those kinds of programs, with plenty of online and print resources to find. It has helped me with my mentoring relationships as a teacher and group home worker.
