The core activities for this “mentoring model” intervention strategy focus on increasing adult bonding. To
this end, members spend a minimum of one hour, one-on-one, each week with their target students, for
the duration of the school year. This model emphasizes time spent with target students to check in on
attendance, grades, and to connect via intentional activities focused on the social-emotional aspects of
students’ lives. Individual Mentoring Plans are developed collaboratively between the mentor and target
student which includes three SMART goals, three corresponding Developmental Assets, and three
corresponding activities. Target students, and other students, are encouraged to participate in SBMP
weekly in-school and after-school recreational, life skill, and service learning programming. Examples
from year’s past include Lunch Bunch, Strong and Smart Sisterhood (SASS), Culture Club, the
Writing/Drama Club, and Get Out Around Town (GOAT).

Mentors also form working relationships with school staff, administration, teachers, and counselors at
