Matching Algorithm

What sets us apart is the scientifically-rigorous approach that we took in developing our matching algorithm. In collaboration with our education partners, we took the unprecedented and bold step of randomly assigning thousands of students to mentors so that we could then identify the individual and match factors that lead to successful matches and better outcomes (Rhodes et al., in preparation). Our best-in-class matching tool will guide you in making research-informed mentor-mentee matches the more enduring and successful than any of our competitors.

Winner of the APA Eleanor Maccoby Book Award

“In this superb book, Rhodes has demonstrated why she is regarded as the foremost authority on youth mentoring in the U.S. and internationally. Her singularly broad and deep knowledge of the science, and her unparalleled understanding of the program and policy implications of mentoring research, are crystallized magnificently in this important and timely book. This book will quickly be seen as a classic.”
