Mentoring Across Generations

Partnerships for Positive Youth Development

By: Andrea S. Taylor,Jeanette Bressler

Currently, blame for the difficulties facing youth is too often laid on one particular segment of the community - whether parents, school personnel or the children themselves. However, the problems of today's young people are problems for all generations. In response, the past decade has seen unparalleled proliferation of planned mentoring initiatives. Across Ages, the multi-faceted and multigenerational intervention described in this volume, uses older adult volunteers as mentors for young people. By acting as advocates, challengers, nurturers, role models and friends, older mentors help children develop the awareness, self-confidence, and skills they need to overcome overwhelming obstacles. Across Ages is cost-effective and feasible even where resources are fairly limited. Although designed as a school-based model, this program can easily be adopted to other settings. Each of the four major program components - mentoring, community service, `life skills' instruction, and family support - is described in step-by-step detail.

My Story

By: Jeanette Powell

MY story starts out, with my parents when they were born. And all that they went through, until they first met. Then I had come along, and all of the trouble I went through growing up, there were some good times and hard times, with the boyfriends and my children and their growing up I also have poetry that was said, between my parents, on their wedding day. There were many exciting adventures, in my book hardships and what people had put me through. Also the trouble that my son and daughters had, with their father, he was so mean to us all. If he had been a real father, they would not have gone astray. Towards the end thing were better; I also have my family’s history.
