This report, the third derived from research out of the National Faith-Based Initiative (NFBI), examines how faith-based organizations designed and implemented mentoring programs for high-risk youth. Focusing on four NFBI sites (in the Bronx and Brooklyn, NY; Baton Rouge, LA; and Philadelphia, PA), the report takes up three key questions: How were the best practices of community-based mentoring programs adapted to address the specific needs of faith-based mentors and high-risk youth? How did the organizations draw on the faith community to recruit volunteers, and who came forward? And finally, how successful were the mentoring relationships--how long did they last and what potential did they show? The report is divided into six chapters. Following an introduction, Chapter II takes a brief look at the youth the sites provide with mentors. Chapter III examines the ways that faith-based programs modified their training, screening and supervision of volunteers to accommodate faith-oriented mentors and high-risk youth. The question of how successful the sites were at recruiting mentors and who they recruited are explored in Chapter IV. Finally, Chapter V examines the duration of the mentoring relationships--the only indicator to date of their potential. The authors summarize their conclusions in Chapter VI. Appended to this report are: (A) Volunteer Survey Questions; and (B) Duration of Mentoring Relationships by Site. (Contains 8 tables and 19 endnotes.)
