If
 
something were 97% effective, wouldn't you invest?

Independent research (Tierney, et al, 1995) shows that, compared to their non-mentored peers, Little Brothers and Little Sisters are:

 

52% less likely to skip school.
46% less likely to start using illegal drugs.
33% less likely to use violence to solve problems.
97% less likely to be involved with juvenile authorities.

We are the only outcomes-based mentoring program in the state with a proven record of transforming the lives of our children, their mentors and our communities.
