California Governors Mentoring Partnership
http://www.mentoring.ca.gov/about.shtmlThe Governor's Mentoring Partnership (GMP), formerly the California Mentoring Initiative under Governor Wilson (Executive Order W-132-96, 1996), was created to provide continuing support for California's youth through mentoring. Statistics show that children with mentors demonstrate solid improvements, especially in the areas of academic performance and are less likely to be involved with gangs, violence, teen pregnancy, alcohol and drug use. Mentoring is a logical, cost-effective prevention strategy that provides youth with positive, caring role models who help them succeed and become productive, contributing members of our society.
The GMP works in partnership with community, faith and school based mentoring programs such as Big Brothers/ Big Sisters, Boys and Girls Clubs and regional mentoring coalitions throughout the state to provide increased public awareness of the need for and support of mentoring; identify and implement effective incentives and strategies to expand mentoring in the public and private sector. The goal of GMP is to encourage strong collaborations regionally to involve whole communities in mentoring efforts to assist our youth.
