Research has demonstrated that adolescents with at least one high-quality supportive relationship with an adult were twice as likely as other youth to be economically self sufficient, have healthy family and social relationships, and be productively involved in their communities (Gambone, Connell, Klem, Sipe, & Bridges, 2002). Unfortunately, at-risk youth and youthful offenders often have limited contact with positive adult role
models with whom they can form and sustain meaningful relationships (Jones-Brown & Henriques, 1997). Mentoring programs can provide
the opportunity for these young people to establish supportive relationships with positive adult role models (Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, 2000).

The Mentoring Toolkit: Resources for Developing Programs for Incarcerated Youth provides information, program descriptions, and links to important resources that can assist juvenile detention facilities and other organizations in designing effective mentoring programs for neglected and delinquent youth, particularly those who are incarcerated.
