The New Beginnings Mentoring Initiative
Based on Risk and Protective Factors research, the New Beginnings Mentoring
Initiative systematically incorporates mentor advocacy into the program's design. An enhancement of our existing mentoring
program, The COPE Project, New Beginnings specifically targets at-risk youth, ages 11-15, who reside in the Greater Baton
Rouge area; in an effort to build protective factors and prevent juvenile delinquency. Through the New Beginnings Mentoring design, the mentoring relationship will
assist youth with strengthening and applying skills for effectively coping with stress, connect the youth with positive community-based
settings (e.g. after-school centers), support the youth's academic success through advocacy carried out in collaboration with
the youth's parents, and, more generally, provide the youth with support for achieving his or her short-term and long-term
goals. We are currently recruiting mentors and mentees to participate.

* This program is funded by the Office of Justice Programs.
