Mentoring Enhances Education
Mentoring programs positively impact high school graduation rates among youth.
Mentored youth are more likely to graduate from high school compared to their non-mentored peers. The National Mentoring Partnership reports that students who meet regularly with their mentors are 52% less likely to skip a day of school.
Studies show that mentored youth have a significantly higher likelihood of graduating from high school compared to those without a mentor.
