However, the  problems of today's young people are problems for all generations.  \u003cbr\u003e  In response, the past decade has seen unparalleled proliferation of  planned mentoring initiatives. Across Ages, the multi-faceted and  multigenerational intervention described in this volume, uses older  adult volunteers as mentors for young people. By acting as advocates,  challengers, nurturers, role models and friends, older mentors help  children develop the awareness, self-confidence, and skills they need  to overcome overwhelming obstacles. \u003cbr\u003e  Across Ages is cost-effective and feasible even where resources are  fairly limited. Although designed as a school-based model, this  program can easily be adopted to other settings. Each of the four  major program components - mentoring, community service, `life  skills' instruction, and family support - is described in  step-by-step detail.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2000-10-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780306464126\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-4283-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 115\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46312115372172,"sku":"9780306464126","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780306464126.jpg?v=1771519048","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780306464126","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
