Education Advocacy. for At-Risk Youth. The Education Advocacy Program for At-Risk Youth seeks to promote school success and stability for youth who face abuse, neglect or delinquency with a special focus on youth in foster care. The program provides an advocate who creates and monitors educational plans, improves educational services, empowers and supports the youth, builds a supportive network in the school and increases the role of school as an anchor.
In rigorous studies, mentoring conducted in high quality programs reduced juvenile delinquency and crime, improved school attendance, higher grades and high school graduation rates, improved mental health, and lowered risk of youth involvement in such risky behaviors as drugs, and alcohol and tobacco use.
