Mentor Perceptions Of Closure In Formal Youth Mentoring Relationships

Abstract

In formal community-based youth mentoring relationships, mentors and mentees travel
through phases of a relationship from inception through closure. To form an
understanding of mentor perceptions of the closure phase of those relationships, a
Glaserian grounded theory survey was conducted. Mentors located in central Illinois
participated in the survey providing their perceptions, insights and experiences regarding
the closure phase of the youth mentoring relationships in which they were involved.
