Notes 1 Although the JUMP legislation supports one-to-one mentoring, a practical consideration for most projects is that they are often able to recruit youth faster than they can recruit mentors. Projects are encouraged to record information on youth as soon as they enroll, rather than waiting until youth are matched with mentors before entering this information into the database. Therefore, this apparent discrepancy in the numbers of youth, mentors, and matches does not mean that projects are not offering one-to-one mentoring. Rather, it indicates that projects may have enrolled youth who have not yet been matched with mentors.2 Only two girls were matched with male mentors in the subset of data used; therefore, an analysis could not be conducted for matches of girls with male mentors. 3 These findings will be the subject of another report.
