Staff Report
Subject
Resolution ratifying the submittal of a grant application to provide youth mentoring services.
Background
The Mentoring Program was established in April of 1992 as a project of the Mayor's Youth Task
Force. The initial funding came from the City and the San Bernardino City Unified School
District as a partnership to provide both mentoring and the Late Night Hoops Program. After
this initial funding, the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department pursued grant
funding to sustain the mentoring program as follows:
. Community Challenge Grant (FOCUS) -1997 to present
. Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Grant (JUMP) - 1997 to 2000
. California Endowment Grant - 2000 to 2002
The department and the mentoring program became a collaborative partner with San Bernardino
County Public Health Department in developing and receiving a FOCUS Community Challenge
Grant through the State of California Department of Health Services. This grant supported 50%
of the Mentoring Coordinator position, one part-time Assistant Coordinator, supplies and
associated cost from February 1997 through June 2004. From 1997 to present two other grants
were used to fund the remaining 50%.
The JUMP grant supported the remaining portion of the Mentoring Coordinator position, two
part-time Assistant Coordinators, travel cost and supplies from September 1997 through March
2000. The JUMP grant expired on March 31, 2000 and the program was allowed a carryover of
$57,427. The City was not eligible to reapply for this grant.
The California Endowment Grant was received in December 2000. This grant continued the
remaining portion of the Mentoring Coordinator position, two Assistant Coordinators and
supplies from December 2000 to June 2003. The program was allowed a carryover of $3,149
that was used in 2003-2004. The City was not eligible to reapply for this grant.
The County has received information that the Community Challenge Grant (FOCUS) has been
extended for 2004-2005 in the amount of $45,000. This information was only recently received
and the County will be contracting with us to continue the Mentoring Program for another year
effective on July I, 2004. This funding only includes the salary and benefits of the Mentoring
Coordinator and support for 56 mentor/mentee matches.
At this time, staff is recommending the ratification of a grant application to expand and continue
the current Mentoring Program. This Federal Department of Education grant, if received as
requested, will provide 100% of the funding needed to reinstate the Mentoring Program with
support to families of mentees at the level previously provided with our California Endowment
Grant. It will include the hiring of two (2) Outreach Workers and one (1) Administrative Clerk
II to assist the Mentor Coordinator to complete the tasks of this expanded program. It is
anticipated that the Mentoring Program will be able to provide services to 150 MentorlMentee
matches and their families for a total of about 750 individuals being served. This is based on
past experience with the California Endowment Grant, which provided the same type of services.
The Department received word on June 25, 2004 that the Federal Department of Education was
taking applications for grants for Mentoring for up to $200,000 per year for a maximum of three
(3) years. (See attached total budget, numbered as page 57 in the grant application, in the
amount of $486,871) The deadline for this grant was July 7, 2004 and after determining that the
City could apply for these funds, staff began the work to complete the grant application and
request letters of support from our local legislators and partners in the mentoring collaborative.
These letters were attached to the completed grant application, which was submitted by July 7.
Without this grant the Mentoring Program will be funded in 2004-2005 for only the contracted
FOCUS program from the County and will support approximately 56 MentorlMentee matches
with one Mentoring Coordinator.
Financial Impact
There will be no general fund cost to the City and there is no grant match. If awarded, the grant
will provide $162,896 to cover program costs from approximately September 1, 2004 through
August 31, 2005. The 2nd year funding would be $164,523 and the third year $169,452, ending
in August 2007. The total three year funding is $496,871.
If the grant is awarded, the department will return to Council to establish the grant-funded
positions.

,."earCh
lIIt{o Regulations lor the Protection of Human Subjects, Tltie 34, Code ot Federal Regulations, Part 97, define research as "a systematic investigation,
including research development, testing and evaluation, designed to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge: If an activity follows a de/JberlJte
plan whose purpose is to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge" is research. Activities which meet this definition constitute research whelher
or not they are conducted or supported under a program which is considered research for other purposes. For example. some demonstration and service
programs may include research activities.
-Human Subject
The regulations define human subject as -8 living individual about whom an investigator (whether professional or student) conducting research obtains (1)
data through inlervention or interaction with the Individual, or (2) identifiable private information: (1) It an activ"y involves obtaining informatiOn about a
living person by manipUlating that person or that person's enwronment. as might occur when B new instructional technique is tested. or by communicating
or interacting with the individual, as occurs with surveys and intsNiews, the definition of human subject ;s met. (2) If an activity involves obtaining private
in/ormation about a living person in such a way that the information can be linked to that individual (the identity of the subject is or may be readily
determined by the investigator or associated with the infonnation), the definition of human subject is met. [Private information Indudes infonnaUon about
behavior that occurs in a context in which an Individual can reasonably expect that no observation or recording is taking place. and information which has
been provided for specific purposes by an individual and which the individual can reasonably expect will not be made public (for example. a school health
record).)
B. exemptions.
Research activities in which the only involvement of human subjects will be in one or more of the following six categories of exemptions are not covered
by the regulations:
(1) Research conducted in established or commonly accepted educational settings, involving normal educational practices. such as (a) research on
regular and spedal education instructional strategies, or (b) research on the effectiveness of or the comparison among instructional techniques. cuniaJla.

.:. Proiect Abstract:
o The City of San Bernardino Mentoring Program (CSBMP), established in 1992,
collaborates with 42 Agencies and organizations, including the San Bernardino Unified
School District (SBCUSD) which is classified as a "high need" district in the State of
California. The SBCUSD faces challenges inherent to districts with poverty, mobility,
unemployment, high ethnic minority representation, language differences and lack of
education among parents. Student achievement and success is profoundly affected. All 59
SBCUSD schools qualify for Title I funding. San Bernardino County ranks above the
California average in juvenile felony arrest, high school dropouts and teenage pregnancy.
(Data from "Children Now" Newsletter).
The Department of Education Mentoring Program grant will provide an
opportunity to continue serving at-risk youth and their families in this City of 190,232
o located sixty miles east of Los Angeles. The program expanded in December 2000 to
reach the mentee families serving 745 people as it maintained 229 Mentor/Mentee
matches and provided services to the mentee families. Funding for this expanded
program ended in June 2004.
Since the end of the California Endorsement Grant, our current Mentor Program
enrolled 56 mentor/mentee matches providing mentoring to at-risk elementary and
middle school children. All the collaborative partners are committed to continuing the
expanded program that began in December 2000 to reach mentees and families.

.:. Bud2et Narrative
There are four major project components that wiII be funded by The
Department of Education Mentoring Program during the requested budget period.
1. Sustain Current MenteeJMentor Enrollment: Expand enrollment of new Mentors.
Provide orientation and training and increase from 56 to /50 mentor-mentee
relationships by increasing 30 new matches each budget year. The Mentor Program
Coordinator and staff will make regular presentations to various groups and
organization in order to recruit quality mentors to accomplish our goal of 30 new
matches each year.
2. Continue with Monitoring MentorlMentee relationship: The Mentoring Program
must ensure that each child assigned a mentor is benefiting from that assignment. A child
will be re-assigned to a new mentor if the relationship is not beneficial to the child. The
Mentor Program Coordinator will spend 25% of her time each budget year in the
monitoring process to assure goad mentor-mentee relationships.
3. Continue with the Outreach Workers,. Services: Given the high-risk target
papulation, there are many problems in the homes of Mentees that cannot and should not
be addressed through Mentors. Many situations require professional intervention from
public and private community-based organizations. A major activity of funding from The
Department of Education Mentor Program will allow the continuation of two (2) FfE
Outreach Workers. They are responsible far working with Mentors/Mentees, parents and
guardians of 150 families by the end of three-year period. In-home visits will be
conducted to assess the home situation. The Outreach Workers will continue providing
3
o
o
o
referrals and follow-up to a variety of health and human services (i. e.. health insurance,
counseling, substance abuse treatment etc.); and continue offering parents and guardians
parenting education classes once a month (Spanish & English). Based on current
program data approximately 75% of Mentees and their families would need outreach
services each budget year.
4. Formal Evaluation Process: The final funded activity will be the planning,
development and implementation of our current formal evaluation process, which has
been developed by the SBCUSD Research Systems Analysis Division to accumulate data,
analyze results, and present reports. The SBCUSD will continue the evaluation process
for us, at a cost of approximately $ 30,000 for a three-year period.
5. Anticipated Outcomes:
· Increase to 150 Mentor/Mentee matches by the end of the 3rd budget year. This is
based on increasing the 56 current participants by 30 participants each budget year
during the grant period.
· Provide Outreach services to at least 75% of the mentees families referred by
counselors or mentors, by home visitations, parenting classes, and referrals to health,
social and educational agencies as needed. Each budget year we will add new families
to the outreach component as new mentees are added and we expect to reach 75% of
the families each year.
· Continue improvement in social, behavioral and confidence-building skills in at
least 75% of Mentees each budget year, as documented by pre/post surveys
conducted by the School District.
4
. Based on current records, show improved academic performance, attendance and
o interest in education by mentees each budget year. Reduce the number of absences from
school by 25% among at least 50% of Mentees each budget year.
. Increase grade performance in one subject among Mentees as documented by
school reports each budget year.
. As reflected in school crime reports, we expect to reduce the number of juvenile
delinquent activities, involvement in gang-related activities, use of firearms and use of
alcohol and drugs by mentees each budget year. Seventy five percent (75%) of our
youth Mentees will not have records of involvement with law enforcement or school
police for juvenile delinquent or gang related activities; 75% of our Mentees will not
have been involved in use of or sale of illegal drugs, alcohol or firearms at school or in
the community.
o · Increase mentees' interest in school to work transition by participation in
community activities. One hundred percent (100%) of MenteeslMentorslParents will
participate each budget year in at least one of the following activities: Mentor Career
Day, Volunteer Day at Mentor Program Office, ,community events. neighborhood clean-
ups, community gardens, cultural celebrations and events, sports and recreation, fund-
raisers for non-profit groups, or volunteering in community services.

.:. Need for the Proiect:
Today, young people are faced with unprecedented challenges in weaving their
way through a highly complex and threatening society. Policymakers, practitioners and
researchers agree that at-risk youth need positive, consistent relationships with adults to
support their development and success. In high-risk communities, a dearth of such
relationships in families, neighborhoods and institutions has been identified as a key
factor in the difficulties encountered by young people in pursuing a constructive life path.
It is no wonder that the usefulness and viability of mentoring has been the focus of many
community-based programs as a method to establish reciprocal bonds through caring
support.
The City of San Bernardino Mentoring Program (CSBMP) is comprised of
students from 22 elementary and 4 middle schools, which is almost 50% of the San
Bernardino City Unified School District (SBCUSD), the tenth largest school district in
the state of California. SBCUSD serves approximately 48,000 students in grades in K-12
at 59 schools. The SBCUSD faces challenges inherent in urban schools where poverty,
mobility, unemployment, high ethnic minority representation, language differences and a
lack of higher education in families profoundly impact student's achievement and
success.
11
o
o
o
Data obtained from SBCUSD Office Research and Development and University
of California, Riverside Office of Community Research indicate that students in the
SBCUSD are negatively affected by the following factors:
· AlI 59 of SBCUSD's schools qualify for Title I funding.
· 80.5% of the School District population live in poverty.
· The City of San Bernardino tops the county list with the highest reliance upon public
assistance (38% of all residents receive some type of welfare). This also negatively
impacts the academic success of students.
· Nearly 95% of all SBCUSD students participate in the FreelReduced Lunch program.
· The number of Limited English Proficient students in the county has grown 150% in
ten years with a negative impact on academic success of students.
· 77% of students in the school district are ethnic minorities (African American: 20%;
Asian: 4%; Hispanic: 52%; Native American: I %; White: 23%).
· 16% of families with children live below the poverty level; 56% of female-headed
households with children under age 18 live in poverty.
· Large numbers of parents of the children commute long hours to the workplace in
neighboring counties (Los Angeles and Orange), increasing the time they are absent
from the family home, thus leaving more children unsupervised and/or without adult
guidance.
· An attendance problem, high rates of mobility between schools and higher than state
averages dropout rates.
.In the most recent reported year, the live teen birth rates ranged from 20.5 per 1,000
Whites, to 63 per 1,000 for Hispanics, with African Americans in-between.
12
o These factors contribute to an extremely challenging learning envirorunent, and
present many risk factors for healthy physical and emotional development. The CSBMP
serves a valuable role in the community by providing early intervention, reaching
students earlier in life, before serious and/or negative behaviors begin to emerge. Also,
the long-term impact of the program relates to reduction in juvenile delinquency, gang
participation, school drop out rates, and improvement in academic performance, better
health and well being, and community involvement. Social research by the SBCUSD
suggests the benefits of natural, personal helping relationships as an antidote for the
complex myriad of youth problems, which if left unattended, escalate into life changing,
and life threatening behaviors. Mentees develop healthier attitudes towards adults and
authority figures, in general. One key difference between youth who become successful
o and those who do not is a Mentor.
With Department of Education Mentoring Programs Grant funding, we will
elevate the existing program to a new level by continuing to serve the entire family unit
of each Mentee through outreach services. Mentors have informed project staff that their
role would be much more effective if the parents/guardians/family were involved in a
more meaningful manner. After we received The California Endowment grant for
Outreach to families in December 2000, we began to work with Mentees' families. As a
result many fundamental problems experienced by Mentees and family members at home
have been resolved. Families' are referred to various health, legal and social agencies as
necessary to meet their needs. In addition, the mentoring program provides monthly
parenting classes in both Spanish and English.

o .:. Oualitv of the Proiect Desim:
The program, established by the City of San Bernardino, Parks, Recreation and
Community Services Department in April 1992, was originally designed to focus on
academic success in school through improvement in reading, study skills and work
habits. Thirty-five City employees were matched with first, second and third grade
students identified by teachers as potential beneficiaries of Mentoring relationships. They
volunteered during their lunch hours, one day per week. Besides tutoring students,
mentors focused on serving as role models, developing life skills and sharing adult
values. By 1995, a private non-profit organization assisted in the development of a City
Youth Agenda and the formation of The City of San Bernardino Mayor's Youth Task
Force. They proposed that the Mentoring program begin to serve middle schools where
o many problems with at-risk youth were evident. The City and the School District
redirected funds from the various grant programs supporting Mentoring to hire a Mentor
Coordinator to oversee the program for middle as well as the elementary schools.
In 1997, a three-year Juvenile Mentoril)g Program (JUMP) grant was awarded
from the U.S. Office of Justice Planning, expanding the number of school sites from 3 to
15. The program has received certification from the California Mentor Initiative (CMI)
and Governor's Mentoring Partnership. In December 2000, after receiving a grant from
The California Endowment, the Mentoring Program expanded the number of sites to 22
elementary and four middle schools.

From 2000 through 2004, a total of229 students mentees have been matched with
229 Mentors, providing a direct link for reducing the risk factors for problematic and
anti-social behaviors among youth (school failure, juvenile delinquency, alcohol and
drugs, teen pregnancy, gangs, and violence). Intervention is provided, by having a
consistent one on one relationship and a caring role model that provides guidance,
fiiendship, and encouragement for healthy alternatives. As a result, mentees increase
grades, develop communication and life skills, and decrease absences and drop out rates.
These results are confirmed by reports of our schools counselors, teachers, and mentors.
The relationship between parents and mentees is improved by having various activities in
which both are involved. Parents are also involved in Parenting Classes in Spanish and
English. In the CSBMP, 57% of participants are Hispanic, the majority of whom have
limited English proficiency. Classes have specific topics that increase the information and
referral opportunities to develop the process for meeting needs in the entire family.
The target population for the program is at-risk elementary and middle schools
students (4th_8th grade). There are 26 eligible and participating schools, which are in high
crime areas with 56% or more of their enrollees.eligible to receive Title I funds under the
Elementary and Secondary Education Act. Students are considered "at-risk" by the
following criteria:
· Performing significantly below grade level
· Economically disadvantaged
· Child of alcohol or drug abuser
. Teen Pregnancy
· Mental Health Problems
IS
o
o
o
· Victim of child abuse/neglect
· Gang involvement or other pre-delinquent acts
A Coordinated effort allows youth at school sites to be referred by school
counselors. Counselors are well aware of which students are exposed to high levels of
risk in their family, community or social environment that may lead to educational
failure, dropping out of school, or involvement with juvenile delinquency. Students who
are identified for the CSBMP are required to complete a Student Application and obtain
written parental permission for participation in the Mentoring Program.
The mentor's first meeting will be at the school site. During this preliminary
meeting the mentor will meet all appropriate school personnel such as the principal, vice
principal, health aide/counselor, and front office workers and parents/guardians. Mentors
will have a tour of the school site and be shown appropriate mentor/mentee meeting
places on campus. The school's staff will be able to identify the mentor on future visits.
This overall informational session will serve to avoid any possible pitfalls during the
initial visit. The family and mentor's files will be maintained at the Mentoring Program
office as confidential information.
Monitoring the mentoring relationship is a daily task for the school and Mentoring
Program staff. This is accomplished with phone calls, sign-in sheets, interview, short
meetings, talks with parents and mentee, and mentor information. If during the mentoring
time, for any reason, mentee or mentor is not comfortable with each other, it is not
considered failure; however, the mentee and mentor will be reassigned as soon as
possible.

The CSBMP actively seeks volunteers who are at least 21 years of age who can
meet the rigorous screening requirements to serve as .. Mentors" to at-risk youth at
participating schools. The term" Mentor" suggest a relationship between a supportive
older adult and an unrelated, younger protege (Mentee). The Mentor provides on-going
guidance, instruction and encouragement, which support the development of competence
and character in the student. The San Bernardino Mentoring Program is operated on a
non-discriminatory basis, affording equal treatment and access to service without regard
to race, color, religion, national origin or ancestry.
Screening policies and procedures are part of the Mentoring program, which
includes application, personal interview, references, fingerprints, criminal background
check, car insurance, and TB Testing. Mentors are provided with an orientation, three-
hour training in "Identification of risk factors for children", and testing. In addition, they
attend monthly support meetings with fellow Mentors, as well as one on one support with
the Mentoring Program Coordinator.
CSBMP Mentors make a written commitment to work for one full school year
(majority of schools are year-round) with tl1eir Mentee. Mentors/Mentees meet a
minimum of one hour per week at the school campus to work on improving academic
skills and dealing with life's issues. Mentors also enjoy specially scheduled social,
recreational, educational, cultural, and enrichment activities with their Mentees. The
Program provides family Picnics, family Christmas Parties, and a Recognition Program
where mentors, mentees, and family members may have special time together.
Mentors also make a commitment to bring their Mentee to their work place in
order to make a strong case for the direct link between academic and career success (Job
17
(.)
o
o
Shadowing). MentorlMentee matches are based on the academic, behavioral, and cultural
needs of the children. The Mentor Program Coordinator conducts one on one separate
interviews and written applications for both Mentor and Mentee, then the mentor and
mentee meet each other at the school sites in the presence of the school counselor and
Mentoring Program Coordinator. This process helps ensure that the right mentors are
chosen in the beginning, so that longstanding relationships with the children they mentor
will develop.
.:. Oualitv of Proiect Personnel:
The City of San Bernardino Parks, Recreation and Community Services
Department is a municipal agency mandated to provide parks, recreation and social
services to the residents of the City of San Bernardino. The Department operates on an
annual budget of over $4.7 million, with a history of successful administration of both
internal operations and federal and state grants. The Department has administered HUD
and USDA grants for summer and year round Lunch Programs for disadvantaged youth
for over 20 years.
The Department has a long history of community collaboration, and has worked
with the SBCUSD for over two decades. In addition to the CSBMP, the Department has
had extensive experience in providing school-basedlschool-linked services through
collaboration with numerous health and human service agencies involved with the
Healthy Start Program. The Department has developed and implemented extended social
and recreational services at numerous school sites, and has worked collaboratively with
the San Bernardino City Unified School District on many projects, including Healthy
18
o
o
o
Start, After-School Programs (CAPS), After-School Gardening Program, Healthy
Families and California Kids.
The City of San Bernardino Mentoring Program staff has attended and will
continue to attend various training workshops, conferences, and other professional
development seminars such as the "National Mentor Summit" and "Managing the Risks
of Mentoring". In previous regional and state planning meetings, we discovered that the
City of San Bernardino Mentoring Program has one of the largest numbers of successful
Mentor-Mentee matches in Southern California. In addition, ours is one of the few
programs in California that has been working with the outreach component, to include
parents, family members and parenting classes with information, documentation,
brochures, and flyers in both Spanish & English.
The professional staff of the CSBMP includes a bilingual (Spanish & English)
Mentor Coordinator with 23 years of professional experience. The Coordinator has
developed two new components to the Mentoring Program to include the families of
mentees. One component is the Parenting Class where training in various areas is offered.
Parents meet monthly to discuss needs of the families and work together with the
outreach workers. The other is a family Outreach Program in which home visits are made
to assess family needs and make referrals to other agencies as necessary. Prior to
becoming The Mentor Coordinator for San Bernardino Parks, Recreation and Community
Services Department, the incumbent spent the previous 19 years involved with at-risk
youth and 18 years as a parenting class coordinator as well as a community volunteer.
She has a Bachelor and Master's degree in the human development field. She also has
worked in various programs as ALANON, for families of drugs and alcohol abusers,
t9
o
o
o
"Families Together," a program for keepingfamiIies together without abuse by having
a commitment from a former abuser, and "Woman for Life," a program for helping
single parents. The Coordinator has been involved in all aspects of recruitment, training,
and support of mentors. She has also worked on the development of the Advisory Board,
monthly mentor support meetings, parenting classes (Spanish & English), and
implementation of a recreational component of the program. The Coordinator has been
very active in promoting the program through various community activities such as
Family Picnics, Mother's Day Celebration, an annual Recognition Luncheon, Camping
trips and a Christmas program, and numerous other social and cultural activities. When
the City received the California Endowment Grant in 2000, an Assistant Administration
Clerk and two Outreach Workers were added to complete the work for the mentor/mentee
matches, parenting classes, and outreach to families. The employees received initial
training and addition update training once each month with new information to assist
them in making successful home visitations, complete paper work, and communicate in
both Spanish & English. With the addition of funding from this Education Department
Grant, these programs can be re-instituted.
The following is a brief profile of other Mentoring partners:
.:. Mentors are recruited in various institutions such as hospitals, government and
private agencies, schools and universities, etc. In these recruitment efforts, we provide
a professional presentation with information and experiences about mentoring and then
allow time for attendees to ask questions and complete an application to be a mentor.
20
o
o
o
.:. San Bernardino City Unified School District: The CSBMP meets as often as
required but at least weekly with school counselors and other school officials to make
mentor/mentee assignments and to keep abreast of the needs of students.
.:. Friends of San Bernardino City Parks: a Non-profit 501 (c) (3) Corporation whose
primary objectives are to aid, sponsor, promote, advance and assist in the provision of
public parks, recreation, and community services in the City of San Bernardino. The
Friends provide the CSBMP with sustainability opportunities beyond the grant period
as a conduit for attaining private funds for the Mentor Program.
.:. City of San Bernardino Mayor's Youth Task Force: It was established in 1995 in
response to the community's desire to see a youth agenda to respond to the growing
number of problems among the city's youth population. It has diverse representation
from the community (SBCUSD Board of Education, City Council members, law
enforcement, the Mayor's office and Parks, Recreation and Community Services
Department). In addition to conceiving the Mentoring Program, the Task Force worked
closely with the City and the school district to secure funding and support to make the
program work. The Task Force has demonstrated their commitment to the Mentoring
Program by assisting in the recruitment of Mentors, serving on the Mentor Advisory
Board, and also volunteering as Mentors themselves.
.:. San Bernardino Mentoring Program Advisory Board: This Board meets on a
monthly basis to bring expertise and collaboration to the project. The Board assists
with many aspects of the program, including Mentor Recruitment, program
development, fund development and special events. The Board membership includes
school staff, the business community, County Department Staff, non-profit
21
o
o
o
organizations, churches, parents, and Park, Recreation and Community Services
Department staff.
.:. Quality oftbe Proiect Evaluation:
One of the major areas that the CSBMP focuses on is the need to demonstrate and
document the impact of the project. This is extremely critical to sustainability of the
project, as most funding sources require a formal evaluation process that presents data
validating the efficacy of their investment.
The CSBMP contracted with SBCUSD for evaluation of the program. This
evaluation enhances the Mentoring Program by rigorously evaluating the exposure and
intensity. The evaluation is useful for giving direction for the program, for making any
-
changes that may be necessary for improving our services to the children and their
families and also for indicating the impact that the program is having on the academic,
behavioral and cultural situations, that have caused the students to be referred to the
program.
The Evaluation protocols include botb process and outcomes evaluation .
measures including:
.:. Pre/Post Surveys of MentorslMentees and Parents/Guardians to determine quality
and benefits of experience (also includes exit interviews, focus groups, etc).
.:. All consents, recruitment, tracking and retention procedures necessary for the
progress of a longitudinal perspective study.
.:. Programs and controls to assess changes in attitudes, and intents regarding personal
life options, self-concept, social support, and high-risk behaviors.
22
o
o
o
.:. Examination of supporting documentation (school records, case management files,
other assessments to measure changes in students performance and achievement).
.:. Attainment of the stated goals and objectives of the program.
.:. Securing additional funding resources to sustain/enhance/expand the program.
.:. Analvsis of Risks and Benefits
The benefits of the CSBMP far outweigh the chalJenges. This is substantiated by a
formal evaluation process that evaluates the progress of each mentee from the time they
begin the program. In addition, we have anecdotal information from mentee/ mentors,
school counselors, and parents and guardians regarding the improvement in the physical,
emotional, social and academic status of students. We also have an information case file
that confirms the outcomes of the program relative to the entire mentee family.
The benefits are evident among both the mentees and the mentors, who report
great satisfaction with their relationships. Volunteers commit to becoming mentors for
many reasons:
.:. A desire to give back to the community.
.:. Because of their area of education study.
.:. Because someone was there for them when they were growing up.
.:. Because they did not have someone growing up, and they want to prevent that
from happening in another child.
.:. Some simply volunteer because they care for and enjoy working with children.
23
o
o
o
The biggest risk and challenge is ensuring that a mentor/mentee match has the
greatest potential to provide positive results for the child. Careful screening ~d thorough
orientation of mentors accomplishes this challenge. Another challenge is maintaining the
level of commitment by mentors while waiting for background investigation results and
coordinating an appropriate match.
Many mentors have lasting relationships with their mentees. Seeing their students
improve in academics, behavior, and healthy habits may take some time, but it is a very
rewarding experience. Some mentors look for immediate results and when good things do
not happen quickly, they become discouraged in their efforts. Staff support and
encouragement is extremely important in order to assure the Mentor that they are making
a difference.
Another risk is that the mentee family may become dependent on the mentor to
solve family problems. While mentors are well intentioned, this is clearly not their role.
Ongoing training and consultation between mentors and professional staff is essential to
prevent these challenges. The addition of case management staff has been a great benefit
to the mentors, and addresses the needs of all involved in getting the appropriate
resources when they are needed.

To Whom It May Concern:
The San Bernardino City Unified School District has a long-standing relationship with the City
of San Bernardino Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Department. This department
has provided mentoring services to our district students since 1992. The City of San Bernardino
is currently in the process of applying for grant funding to continue and expand their rnentoring
services to our students.
o
The San Bernardino City Unified School District is in support of the grant application and we are
looking forward to establishing a Memorandum of Understanding to partner with the City to
obtain the needed mentoring support for more of our students. The mentoring of students has
been an effective intervention in improving attendance and academic achievement for our at-risk
students.
The City has requested that our Research Systems! Analysis Department implement an evaluation
process to adhere to the requirements of the mentoring grant. We will certainly work with the
City of San Bernardino to enter into an agreement to do this work. Weare preparing a
Memorandum of Understanding to present to our Board of Education for approval by August 17,

Re: City of San Bernardino Mentoring Program
The County of San Bernardino Department of Public Health Perinatal and Adolescent
Life Section (PALS) is pleased to recommend and support the City of San Bernardino
Parks and Recreation Department Mentoring Program in its efforts to continue to provide
mentoring services to youth in San Bernardino.
o
Since 1997, our agency has collaborated with the Mentoring Program in the State of
California Office of Family Planning Community Challenge Grant effort to reduce teen
pregnancy. We are familiar with its efforts to provide programs to at risk youth in the
San Bernardino community. The Mentoring Program in particular has had a successful
history in this effort. The addition of outreach services and of parenting groups further
enhanced the success of this program. Mentors receive support from the staff of the
mentoring program to assure a positive relationship between the mentor and mentee. In
addition to training and ongoing support for the mentors, group activities have brought
the mentors and mentees together and provide a variety of experiences including camping
and participation in the arts.
The Department of Public Health PALS section will continue to collaborate with the
Mentoring Program in the support of mentor/mentee matches and programs to middle and
high school age youth. The youth benefit from a significant adult in their life who
encourages them to establish life goals and to be successful in their goals. We
appreciate the opportunity to continue to support the Parks and Recreation Department in
its endeavor to improve the lives of children in San Bernardino County.
Sincerely,

RE: Recommendation for City of San Bernardino's
Application for "Mentoring Program, Dept. of Education"
Dear Ms. Hearns:
I am writing this letter to support the City of San Bernardino's application for a "Department of
O Education Mentoring Program" Grant. I understand that the funds will be used to expand
greatly needed program services to at-risk youth and their families in San Bemardino.
It is my pleasure to attest to the program's effective and efficient delivery of services to youth
and their families through my observations and participation in numerous events your
program has sponsored, including luncheons, dinners, and awards functions. Also, I was
highly impressed with your successful collaborated efforts with numerous organizations and
individuals to provide Christmas gift baskets for needy families in San Bemardino. To be
sure, the families always appeared very grateful for the program.
Under your competent leadership, the Mentoring Program has served 745 people and
maintained 229 Mentor/Mentee "matches." With funds from the proposed education grant,
your program will be able to expand these critically needed services to 120 new mentees.
The City of San Bernardino's Mentoring Program deserves the highest consideration for this
extremely needed service in my District, and I hope your application will be accepted for
funding. If I can be of further assistance, please call my San Bernardino District office at
(909) 381-3832. Good luck!
Sincerely,
~qRS

To Whom It May Concern:
This letter comes to support the attached proposal submitted by the City of San Bernardino
Mentoring Program.
o
Since 1992 the City of San Bernardino Mentoring Program has been dedicated to educating,
mentoring, and guiding the youth in the city of San Bernardino. San Bernardino County ranks
higher than the California average in the areas of juvenile felony arrest, high school dropouts and
teenage pregnancy.
The City of San Bernardino Mentoring Program has expressed to me its desire to pursue and
secure a grant from the Department of Education that has been created specifically for mentoring
programs. I support and continue to encourage funding to the City of San Bernardino Mentoring .
Program to provide resources that will assist this organization and allow them to continue to
serve at-risk youth and their families.
The success of the San Bernardino Mentoring Program can be seen in their fourteen years of
service to the City of San Bernardino. Unfortunately, funding for many expanding programs
ended in June 2004. The mentoring program has a positive reputation for effectiveness and will
be able to reach its highest potential yet with additional funding from the Department of
Education.
Sincerely,
e Q.-c..

Dear Ms. Hearns:
()
It is with great pleasure that I express my support to the City of San Bernardino Mentoring
Program, which under the direction of Ms. Hearns, has assisted in providing children with role
models as well as in providing parenting classes to families in need. The program is also
responsible for organizing cultural events for various ethnic groups, as well as camping and
sports activities for children.
We respectfully urge you to continue providing support to this program in our community. The
existence of such a program is essential towards developing productive and influential youth,
that without such mentoring would have a high probability of becoming at-risk youth due to the
poverty level in our community.
1 appreciate your consideration and attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
~
Longville
