Acknowledgement This curriculum was modeled in structure and organization after the developmental cross-age mentoring curriculum developed by Michael Karcher, PhD. We are most grateful to Dr. Karcher for sharing his mentoring curriculum and his expert advice as we developed, wrote and implemented this curriculum, using the organizational structure of the curriculum developed by him.
Philosophy and Goals The philosophy of this curriculum is to directly target factors that have been found to put middle-school students at-risk for engaging in delinquent behaviors to decrease the rates of delinquency among these youth. The four risk factors with the most robust empirical support are: (1) truancy, (2) lack of school engagement, (3) association with deviant peers, and (4) victimization. This curriculum seeks to teach middle-school students skills and strategies to combat each of the four risk factors. These strategies are taught in the context of a group mentoring program in which the participants receive didactic instruction as well as opportunities to be supported by mentors as they practice using the skills. The curriculum is designed to be engaging and practical, with strategies the participants can apply in their daily lives. The curriculum also takes a strength-based approach with an emphasis on empowering youth.
