Abstract/Artist Statement
The goal of this research is to better understand the impact of college student mentoring for students from low income areas who are at-risk of not graduating high school. The author will create a business plan for Hope Street Organization, a registered student organization focused on building relationships between college students and at-risk middle school students. The business plan is to include a comparison between Hope Street Organization and similar mentoring programs aimed at assisting youth in inspiring vision for a successful academic future and reaching their academic goals. It will also include scholarly research into methods for reaching youth and training mentors. This business plan will include research into the financial means necessary to run such an organization, recruitment of college mentors, appropriate training and certifications of college mentors, and the anticipated impact of such an organization on youth.
