Enhanced SBM Model Design

A recent experimental evaluation of the Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) School-Based Mentoring program showed modestly positive results, but BBBS wants to do better.

A recent experimental evaluation of the Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) School-Based Mentoring program showed modestly positive results, but BBBS wants to do better. This award will help support the development of an Enhanced School-Based Mentoring model. Staff from six BBBS agencies will work with mentoring research experts to develop guidelines for high school BBBS programs, bridging the summer gap, and developing high quality volunteer orientation/training/match support and performance management. The design team will create a model that BBBS plans to test during the 2008/2009 and 2009/2010 school years.
