Bright
Idea: Reinventing the Wheel at the Buckeye Mentoring Hub National Clearinghouse on
Families and Youth | January 2011
Two
questions keep the leaders of every mentoring program up
at night. How do we recruit bright, enthusiastic,
committed mentors? And once we recruit them, how do we
keep them engaged?
For a group of concerned
child and youth-serving organizations in Central Ohio, the
answer was clear: make the mentoring experience as easy as
possible for those willing to give their time.
Over the last 10 years, the 40+ organizations that make up
the Buckeye Mentoring Hub have streamlined the recruiting,
screening, training, and matching process region-wide. The
result: 300 students from Ohio State University in
Columbus were matched with children from a variety of
local area schools.
