by Emmy Werner, Ph.D., University of California

What
are the crucial elements of all successful
youth mentoring programs? This book has
the answers from:
- Marc
Freedman, M.A., considered the "guru"
of the mentoring movement;
- Bonnie
Freedman, M.S.W., the most widely read
author on resiliency in the U.S.;
- Emmy
Werner, Ph.D., known as the "mother" of
resiliency research;
- Ralph
Renger, Ph.D., and his colleagues, who
offer a "guidebook" for mentoring program
design; and
- Nan
Henderson, M.S.W., who has interviewed
many resilient youth -including those
who have- bounced back from risk behavior
due to the relationships they have had
with mentors.
"
This book is a must for anyone
involved in mentoring, but is particularly
directed towards people who want to attract
mentors and benefit from their relationship.
Practical, free of jargon, and clearly written,
the book explores how a mentoring relationship
can be beneficial to the mentee, the mentor,
and the organization and provides a number
of ideas on how mentees can manage their
own personal development and career growth.
In addition, the authors explain the skills
needed to ensure successful mentoring partnerships,
build and maintain the mentoring connection,
and deal with issues such as power, diversity,
resistance to change, learning styles, and
successfully ending the relationship."
