This resource sheet examines evidence for the effectiveness of mentoring programs in helping to set Indigenous young people at risk of engaging in antisocial and risky behaviour on healthier life pathways. Young Indigenous Australians in some communities face multiple and complex challenges that can put them at high risk of disengaging from their communities, schools and positive life courses.
Mentoring can have powerful and lasting positive impacts on behavioural, academic and vocational outcomes for at-risk-youth.
