From the Paper:

"Although the concept of mentoring seems appealing as a cost-efficient strategy, it also involves a labor-intensive and time-consuming process of recruiting, training, matching and supervision of the mentors and mentees. Each step of the process is fraught with problems. Apart from the difficulty of recruiting committed mentors who have the stamina to persist with mentees, the absence of a standard criterion for this process leads to confusion and a lack of direction (Mejorado). In this paper, the AVMSP will be described and evaluated to assess its impact on students and school counseling practices, with a focus on schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD)."
