The National Network of Youth Ministries (NNYM), with support from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, recently released a Mentor Recruitment Kit. The free kit includes a DVD, a step-by-step recruitment strategy booklet, and a poster. It can be ordered online at MentorYouth.com, NNYM's mentoring Web site.

MentorYouth.com's purpose is "to enlist, encourage, equip, and empower adults in the church and the community to become mentors to young people." The site provides a variety of resources, including a registry of mentoring programs, a community message board, mentoring success stories, and an "ask an expert" feature.

NNYM has a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice, through a faith-based initiative, to find caring adults to serve as mentors across the country. NNYM also works with MENTOR: The National Mentoring Partnership.
