Mentoring Support for Juveniles During and After Incarceration

Abstract

The HOPE (Helping Offenders Prosper through Employment) Mentoring Program is a university-based program that partners undergraduate mentors with incarcerated juveniles during their time spent in the facility and continues mentorship upon reentry to the community. We describe the principles of the mentoring program and highlight how the HOPE Mentoring Program has been implemented in the state of Indiana with juveniles with and without disabilities.
