Youth Outcomes in Various School Settings: Big Brothers Big Sisters Analysis of 2022 Matching

Abstract

This study compares a public and private school within the Greater Boston area; The Thomas Edison and Sacred Heart Stem schools. Information was gathered through a database company called Salesforce. Within youth inquiries it shows evaluations recorded by volunteers, guardians, and youth who participate in this mentoring program. A randomized name generator was used to select the names of students of the Thomas Edison School because more matches were created at this school within 2022. Information on Salesforce is limited since everything is self-administered but after analyzing the results of strength and relationship evaluations (SOR) and guardian and youth (SEL) evaluations it was determined that there is an overall positive correlation of improvement in youth within six months.
