Department of Family Social Science professor Lindsey Weiler is part of the team researching “Mentor Families: A Setting-level Component to Improve Mentoring Outcomes for At-risk Youth,” which just received a William T. Grant Foundation research grant in Social Settings.

The project investigates Mentor Families, a relatively low-cost innovation to improve youth mentoring programs involving the groupings of four mentor–mentee pairs into a “family” that experiences a mentoring program together.

The project will be awarded $599,784 over the course of three years.
