Accepted Boys 2 Mentoring

According to a 2014 study by the nonprofit MENTOR: The National Mentoring Partnership, one in three young people ages 18 to 21—an estimated 16 million youths—report that they have never had a mentor of any kind, whether a family member or another older adult. For at-risk youths, the numbers are even higher: An estimated 9 million students don’t have mentors.

The pairing of a young person with a supportive non-parental adult or older peer through mentoring can significantly shape that young person’s successful path to adulthood. Studies have shown that mentored youth are 52 percent more likely to stay in school and also complete more homework assignments than youth without mentors.

The primary focus of the Accepted Mentoring Program is to promote general and healthy development while also emphasizing skill development and progress toward specific goals. This approach is flexible to meet specific school and student needs to ensure student success and participation in the program.

The Accepted Mentoring Program is built on six themes that will help students develop and enhance decision making skills and self confidence. The six themes are Respect for self, Respect for program/school community, Respect for womanhood, Respect for family, Respect for local community, and Respect for goals.

At Accepted Admissions, we understand that without these skills, students have a risk of underachievement academically and socially. We acknowledge the responsibility of mentoring using self confidence strengthening skills, communication and reflection, and loving accountability that looks to restore rather than dispose.
