Supporting Studies

Qualitative and Quantitative Data

Qualitative and Quantitative Data

  • Historical trends continue to reflect a need for intentional and intensive supports for young men and boys of color.  The Casey Foundation indicated then that black and brown children were in crisis.   
  • “Black Lives Matter,” Movement proves action and solutions that change outcomes to move from crisis to saving males of color. That process begins with strengthening the social, emotional, and academic supports.
  • Urbanlabs Crime research found that mentoring programs that support at-risk youth outweigh the cost. Up to $30 in societal gains for every $1 invested are realized reductions in crime alone. 
  • According to the American Institutes for Research, males of color are disproportionately disconnected from mainstream society. Those who do not finish high school are more likely to have difficulty getting or holding a job and spending some time in the justice system. Mentoring U.S.A. research indicates mentoring helps young people succeed by establishing supportive and beneficial relationships. Mentoring programs promote positive development, improve self-esteem, better social skills, improve academic outcomes, reduce school infractions, increase students' academic competence, reduce out of class time, and increase student's persistence to graduation and knowledge of career opportunities.
