9 WHY MENTORING? Studies have found mentoring improves various youth outcomes: Psychological Higher self-esteem & life satisfaction School Fewer school absences; better school attitudes & behavior; higher high school completion College & Career Higher college attendance; higher employment Reduced Delinquency Lower recidivism; lower offending; less aggressive behaviors; less drug use Social More positive attitude towards helping; Improved parental relationships & support from peers. (Tolan et al, 2008; Dubois & Silverthorn, 2005; Jekielek, Moore, & Hair, 2002)
10 FOSTER CARE STATISTICS Of the more than 500,000 children in foster care, 30 to 40% are also in special education. The employment rate for foster care youth is lower than the general population with no more than 45% of youth employed One-third of former foster care youth have incomes at or below the poverty level earning less than $6,000 per year in wages (Haam, 2003; Pecora, Kessler, Williams, O Brien, Downs, English, et al, 2005)
11 EVIDENCE-BASED MENTORING PRACTICES Outcomes are most positive when programs use practices that promote close, enduring, & developmentally enriching mentor-mentee relationships including: Providing training & ongoing supervision to mentors Frequent contact & long lasting relationship (at least one year) Program sponsored activities that enhance relationship development Family/parent support & involvement Combining mentoring with other enriching programs/ services (Rhodes & Dubois, 2008)

19 RAMP COMPONENTS Specific Youth Population: RAMP sites adapt to the specific characteristics and needs of the youth engaged and their communities. (**Focus on at-risk youth) Employer Partnerships: RAMP sites partner with local businesses to expose youth to career exploration opportunities they might not have ordinarily had, including guest speakers, industry materials, work site visits, and hands-on internships. (**STEM) Education Partnerships: Educational institutions work with RAMP sites to recruit youth and mentors, collaborate on Individualized Education Programs (IEP), provide meeting space, and connect youth s school experiences with career-focused mentoring.
20 AT-RISK YOUTH Who Are These At-Risk Youth? What populations are participants in the room working with? How RAMP enrolls and engages these various populations
21 RAMP COMPONENTS Community Partnerships: RAMP sites partner with non-profit organizations and government/public departments to recruit youth and mentors, provide services for families, and offer career exploration activities. Family Engagement: In addition to the initial orientation and consent session, sites make sure to involve family members in discussions about upcoming goals, host information sessions on relevant services, and invite family members to join youth at events, field trips, and celebrations. Enrolling and Engaging Youth: Sites collaborate with educational and community partners to identify and reach out to eligible youth. Throughout the program, staff and mentors engage youth s interests in various ways to help them explore their career interests, set and meet their weekly goals, and build self-motivation. ** Focus on hands-on STEM-related activities, including high tech projects (with employer/post-secondary advisors) each year.
22 RAMP COMPONENTS Training and Retaining Mentors: RAMP recruits and trains caring adults with or without disabilities to serve as one-on-one mentors for youth. Sites make sure to provide helpful resources for mentors, coordinate transportation and scheduling, and provide professional development opportunities. Weekly Meetings: RAMP youth attend weekly meetings focused on career preparation, employment, and independent living skills. Youth work one-on-one with mentors and in small groups to set goals, reflect on progress, and participate in career-focused activities.
23 RAMP COMPONENTS Weekly Goal-Setting and Individualized Mentoring Plans (IMP): Youth work with mentors to create their own IMPs, focused on five areas of development: working; learning; thriving; connecting; and leading. In harmony with IMPs, youth set important personal goals related to school, home life, disability, and career interests. Transition Planning, Follow-Up, and Support: In the last quarter, RAMP prepares youth to successfully transition into another program, the next school year, a job, another year of RAMP, or a post-secondary learning opportunity. Sites also maintain records and establish ways to stay in contact with RAMP alumni after they ve transitioned. Administrative: To run efficiently and effectively, staff must carry out important tasks including marketing, data management, and professional development.
