The type of programs I think are most effective are the Big Brother, Big Sister ( Community Based Mentoring Programs) and The Adults in the making Programs. The big brother and the big sister program are made up of Adults who grew up in the same community that the younger people grew up in and takes them under their wings to show them how they can make it out of there neighbor hood to be successful. The adults in the making program encourages families as a whole to participate in the program to strengthen their bond as a family so the kids will not be afraid to talk to their parents about things that are bothering them and what is happening in their lives.
