Stand By Me: The Risks & Rewards of Mentoring Today’s Youth by Dr. Jean E. Rhodes
Harvard University Press Review: “In this book, Dr. Rhodes draws on the latest findings on mentoring and her own extensive, groundbreaking studies. Rhodes examines the psychological process of mentoring in it’s many forms, the bond that develops between mentors and youth, what each group brings to the processes and what they get out of it, and the important role that adults who are not their parents can play in the development of children.”
