Lee: Mentorship MENTORSHIP: IN RESEARCH, PRACTICE, AND PLANNING Jasmine A. Lee Dr. Lynn Nybell, Mentor ABSTRACT This research examines literature from 1995-2007 involving youth mentorships in America. Mentor/National Mentoring partnership defi nes youth mentorship as a “structured and trusting relationship that brings young people together with caring individuals who offer guid- ance, support and encouragement aimed at developing the competence and character of the mentee” (2003). Over the past decade there has been a resurgence of youth mentoring as a way to provide support and encouragement to “at-risk” youth in America. My study of the literature involved defi ning the word mentor and fi nding the best practices used by mentor programs that create positive outcomes in youth and docu- menting the process of the mentor relationship. During my research I discovered that there is a lack of information specifi cally regarding Af- rican-American mentors matched with African-American mentees and the impacts that this has on the youth involved.

Allen Lillian T. Eby University of South Florida University of Georgia Elizabeth Lentz University of South Florida Formal mentoring programs continue to gain popularity within organizations despite limited empirical research regarding how these programs should be designed to achieve maximum effectiveness. The present study examined perceived design features of formal mentoring programs and outcomes from both mentor and prote´ge´ perspectives. The outcomes examined were career and psychosocial mentoring, role modeling, and mentorship quality. In general, the results indicated that perceived input into the mentoring process and training perceived as high in quality were consistently related to the outcome variables. Implications for the design of formal mentoring programs and future theory development are discussed.
