Empowering Youth Development: FAU CARD iRISE2 Mentoring Program

by Darius Murray | Friday, Aug 24, 2018

Mentoring has resulted to have a significant impact on youth development at home and in school, as well as promoting appropriate behaviors in the community. One-on-one mentoring has been proven to positively influence social skills and promote self-esteem and self-confidence in youth while guiding them to reach their full potential. The theory of ecological systems helps to quantify the positive impact that multiple settings have on reinforcing positive behaviors and promoting strong cognition skills that lead to the developmental success of youth assets. Mentoring relationships provide protégés with an additional safe setting to explore their interests and strengthen skills that are best comprehended when delivered with the help of a trained adult mentor and reinforced through their interactions with parents and educators. FAU CARD iRISE2 now provides mentoring for youth, between the ages of 11 – 22 years old, matching them with a trained mentor capable of modeling appropriate behavior, navigating interests, maintaining friendships and building employable skills.
