Latino Achievement Mentoring Program (LAMP)

 

This program serves two important goals. The first goal is to promote healthy youth development by providing emotional, academic, psychological, and social support through individual mentoring by college students. The second goal is to strengthen the skills of the college student mentors, who have the potential to become future community leaders. Together, the goals of this mentoring program will help enhance the quality of life of Latino youths in this community. The evaluation component of the mentoring program has been developed to measure the program's ability to achieve the stated goals.
