Mentor Attunement: An Approach to Successful School-based Mentoring Relationships

Abstract  

Despite the ongoing popularity and appeal of youth mentoring programs across myriad of contexts, the achievement of high quality
relationships between adult volunteers and school-aged youth remains a vital challenge to the work of youth development professionals.
This paper outlines the role of mentor attunement in the experience of relationships between volunteer adults and youth in
schools. Through an in-depth, inductive analysis of qualitative data, including on-site observation of relationship development
over time, attunement at varying levels is illustrated. Implications for future research and program development are discussed.
