The Mentoring Effect:

Business Recruitment Thousands of San Francisco public school students could benefit from having a mentor. We could all use that kind of inspiration, right? Vice President of Board of Education Matt Haney, in partnership with Laurie Vargas and SF Education Fund has reached out to people throughout San Francisco to ask them to mentor. As a result, over 25 people have been trained to join the mentoring ranks so far this school year. They want to give back in ways that help youth transition to successful adulthood. So what happens when community leaders, individual citizens, and employers support giving back in this way? The survey says…..it helps youth and it’s an excellent business practice!

In 2015 The National Mentoring Partnership released a report based on interviews with 18 companies that promote mentoring by their employees. According to The Mentoring Effect, not only are youth with mentors more likely to be successful in school, leaders in their communities, and to enter young adulthood with opportunities for ongoing education and career choices; but engagement in youth mentoring also provides key benefits for participating companies. Nonetheless 16 million youth in the US will reach the age of 19 without having had a mentor. The report aims to address this mentoring gap by sharing effective practices and serves as a call to action for companies to increase efforts to support youth mentoring.

Recommendations to businesses from MENTOR: The National Mentoring Partnership’s The Mentoring Effect include the following:

● Align mentoring engagements with your corporate strengths. Businesses should consider how potential programs would fit with their broader corporate mission, as well as their values and capabilities. (cont p. 6)

Project Arrive Goes to the Capitol! There’s exciting news on the Project Arrive front! MFS District Coordinator Vida Sanford has been invited to co-present a workshop at the sixth annual National Mentoring Summit taking place on January 27-29, 2016, in Wash-ington, D.C. For the past several years, the Project Arrive team has been engaged in one of the first federally funded evaluations of group mentoring in the country. Through collaboration with Dr. Gabe Kuperminc and his team from Georgia State University (GSU) Project Arrive has a better understanding of what goes into building a successful school-based group mentoring program, and what impact it may have in helping students to suc-ceed, both socio-emotionally and academical-ly. This year’s conference will explore the theme of “Connection | Growth | Opportunity". The National Mentoring Summit is convened by MENTOR: The National Mentoring Partner-ship, and is supported by both the private and public sectors. The Summit brings together nearly 1,000 individuals who represent the mentoring movement, including practitioners, researchers, MENTOR’s network of affili-ate Mentoring Partnerships, corporate part-ners, and government and civic leaders. The title of Project Arrive’s presentation is “The Role of Innovation in the ‘Practice-to-Research’ Pipeline: Group Mentoring for Males of Color.” This workshop will explore how creative and collaborative programs (such as Project Arrive) can contribute to the "practice-to-research" pipeline by presenting group mentoring as an innovative and prom-ising practice for young males of color. We are really looking forward to sharing and learning with other mentoring professionals from across the U.S., and bringing back new insights and resources to enhance and ex-pand our mentoring efforts here in SFUSD.

perspective on what it’s

Equitable Family Engagement Take a moment and think back to when you were the age of your mentee. Where did you go to school? How did you feel about school? Like many of our students your family may have come up during this reflection. Perhaps you thought of who you lived with, who took care of you, and of those you considered to be family.

Now think more deeply about how your family was engaged with your education. Did your family go to parent teacher conferences? Did they go to school events or PTA meetings? Did they help with homework? Thinking of these questions requires us to think critically about our own privilege when considering how to engage our mentee’s family. Are the ways we frame engagement based on “normative” school expectations? How might expectations drawn from our personal experience or the dominant culture’s expectations be impacting a family who does not have the privilege or capital to engage in “normative” ways? For example, how might a parent’s language barrier effect their communication with the school? Or if both parents work two jobs late into the evening, what impact might that have?

Most importantly, how might the discrepancy between the “normative” frameworks and the reality of your mentee’s family circumstances be impacting your mentee’s educational experience? The students served in Mentoring For Success have been identified for needing extra educational support. This may mean their family and caregivers may also need extra support and guidance to successfully navigate school systems and access resources. Reaching out to your mentee’s family to build a genuine connection with them is an equitable strategy that honors your mentee’s family and recognizes the value

of family engagement to your mentee’s development.

It is important to be mindful of your mentee’s family circumstance during times of year such as the recent holidays. Families of our mentees might be families who need an extra connection around traditional holidays, or when there might be school-wide programs that your mentee is excited about. If your mentee is performing in a school event, ask them if their family is able to attend. Check in with the family to invite them to the event. If they aren’t able to attend, is

there a way that you can attend and take photos or ask the teacher or school social worker to take photos for the family? Helping to build this connection between the school and home is an equitable way of making sure families are noticed, especially in situations where they might not have been noticed or engaged with before. Your connection matters. Not only to your mentee, but to the larger community they come from. Family engagement is an important topic to consider when participating as a mentor in a child’s life. Please join us to explore this topic further in our upcoming professional development (see p. 6 for

Building Character Strengths (adapted from Search Institute)

Character strengths may be labeled soft skills, non-cognitive skills, char-acter skills, social-emotional skills, 21st century skills, and many other terms. They’re studied in multiple disciplines, from educational psycholo-gy to behavioral economics to neuropsychology. But, in the end, they all point to a constellation of personal skills, attitudes, values, and mindsets that are collectively called character strengths.

Character strengths such as perseverance, responsibility, empathy, and communications are critical for students’ success in school and in life.

These strengths are “caught” more than they’re “taught” through the ways teachers, other staff, parents, and peers connect with young people. Mentors may nurture them through par-ticipation in Mentoring For Success, by promoting a school culture that expects, encourages, and reinforces these strengths as part of education.

Character Strengths in Youth The below summarizes self reports by U.S. middle and high school stu-dents surveyed by Search Institute, specifically the percent of young peo-ple who report key character strengths:

75% Positive view of the future 71% Integrity, or acting on convictions and standing up for one’s beliefs 67% Responsibility 63% Sense of purpose 48% Interpersonal competence (empathy, sensitivity, friendship skills) 33% Planning and decision making

Many students in Mentoring For Success report these areas being positively impacted when they continue in a relationship over an extended period with their mentor. While seemingly abstract ideas to talk about, some of the below conversation starters can help prompt young people to unpack their character strengths and start to think about them. Try them as ice-breakers, during transitions between activities, or in informal conversations. Most importantly, use them to help your student mentee identify where their strengths lie.

What if . . . You won $1 million. What would you do with it? How would it affect who you are and how you see yourself?

A friend asked you to shoplift a loaf of bread to give to a homeless person. What would you do? Why?

You could give a Nobel Prize to the person you most admire. Who would you give the award to? Why?

You could have three superpowers. What would you pick? Why?

You suddenly moved to a different continent. How would you adapt to that change?

You were asked to plan a visit by the U.S. president to your school. How would you start?

You were going to spend the next year on an uninhabited tropical island. Who would you want to go with you? Why?

You learned you had only three weeks to live. What would be most important for you to do?

You had a chance to create a video game that shows your approach to life. What features would it include? What obstacles would you create?

The whole world would listen to you for one minute. What would you say?

You could meet one person you most admire from the past or present. Who would you want to meet? Why? What would you say?

Healthy Choices AmeriCorps Launched! This fall School Health Programs’ Mentoring For Success launched Healthy Choices

AmeriCorps, an exciting resource for schools that partner

with Mentoring For Success to manage one-to-one and

small group mentoring programs. Administered by School

Health Programs Office and California Volunteers, and

sponsored by the Corporation for National Community

Service, Healthy Choices AmeriCorps is hosting 47 AmeriCorps members to support

mentoring programs and other Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) that

improve conditions for learning and address the specialized needs of over 500 students. The

primary goal of the project is to improve student success by increasing attendance and pro-

social behaviors on school campuses, two areas where Mentoring For Success has

demonstrated success.

Healthy Choices AmeriCorps would not be possible without the strong partnership with

School Social Workers, Nurses, and Teachers on Special Assignment who work under the

umbrella of School Health Programs Office’s School Social Work, Wellness, and Student

Intervention Teams, Foster Youth Services, Caminos, and Tobacco Use Prevention Education.

Under the guidance of their dedicated staff, Healthy Choices AmeriCorps Members will help

improve conditions for learning by engaging students, families, and school community

members in one-to-one and small group mentoring, case management, therapeutic services,

targeted family engagement, social emotional learning activities, peacemaking circles,

structured group activities, and community outreach. For a full list of our partners please go

to page 7.

For those looking for a way to give back , the AmeriCorps Members are putting together a

National Day of Service activity on MLK Jr Day! It would be a great activity to do with your

mentee so mark your calendar for January 18th and keep your eyes open—details to come!

The Mentoring Effect (continued from p. 2)

● Collaborate with a non-profit expert or school for maximum impact. By establishing relationships with non-profit experts or educational institutions, your program will benefit from your partners’ experience, robust systems, processes and standards, investment in talent development, and materials and methodologies. ● Foster employee engagement through an open understanding of where and when mentoring takes place, as well as ongoing support. Employers must realize that mentoring happens in many different ways, and that flexibility is key to encourage, facilitate and support participation. Employers should clearly illustrate which mentoring options are available to employees – short- or long-term, online or in-person, at the worksite or a school – and work with their partner to provide training, curriculum, relationship tools, and ongoing support. All 18 organizations interviewed allow employees to volunteer during working hours. ●Facilitate increased peer learning and idea sharing among service providers and private sector actors focused on mentoring. Corporate funders and partners are uniquely positioned to bring together programs to exchange best practices, explore partnership opportunities or share data. Those with technology platforms can build online environments where practitioners can share case studies and advice. The private sector can also invest in intermediaries that help scale effective programming and provide professional development and mentor training.

● Invest in proven, evidence-based programming. Businesses looking to enhance the results of an existing program may want to consider the recommendations above. And if your business would like to invest it’s social capital as a community investment through SFUSD’s evidence-based Mentoring For Success program please contact Erin Farrell at farrelle@sfusd.edu or call 415-242-2615.
