In this policy brief, former P/PV President Gary Walker asks, Is mentoring now a durable part of American social policy? If so, is this unalloyed good news? Adapted from an article that first appeared in The Handbook of Youth Mentoring (DuBois and Karcher, ed. 2005), the brief reflects on the impact and appeal of mentoring, addresses various critiques of the movement and suggests future directions for mentoring's application.
