This Youth in Action Bulletin, for instance, explains how youth involved in mentoring programs have been shown less likely to experiment with drugs or drop out of school. After supplying tips on how to evaluate peer mentoring programs, the Bulletin lists organizations that youth may contact for additional information. The Bulletin's writing and format are geared to youth. | |
