RBI Mentoring – A Story of Hope
Why Mentoring?
Three out of four kids in the Oak Springs community are fatherless.
RBI Mentoring is a movement to end the fatherless crisis in East Austin, and we are now recruiting mentors!
RBI Mentoring matches East Austin 4th graders with a caring mentor to invest in their lives through high school graduation and develop them into the future leaders of their communities.
Researchers found that after 18 months of spending time with their mentors, mentees (compared to children without mentors) were:
- 46% less likely to begin using illegal drugs 46%
- 27% less likely to begin using alcohol 27%
- 52% less likely to skip school 52%
- 37% less likely to skip a class 37%
- 33% less likely to hit someone 33%
