This article deals with effective strategies to show that educators and school administrators can utilize court-ordered mentors, for at-risk juveniles placed in their classrooms. In the late 1980s and 1990s there was a convergence of two major events in juvenile justice. These were the reduction of government funds to address serious social problems, such as crime, and the increase of juvenile crime in the United States. A way to combat this increased juvenile crime problem and decrease of available funds was to pair juveniles under court supervision with responsible adult counterparts to provide a positive influence. These mentoring programs provided a cost-effective and strong influence on juveniles in the court system. The goal of this article is to educate teachers and school administrators about programs that their students might be required to attend and utilizing these programs to assist them in the classroom. This article also provides teachers and administrators support strategies in developing allies with these mentoring programs to better serve the youth and community.
