About INmR

The field of youth mentoring encompasses nearly every continent, with researchers exploring a wide range of topics and programs. Discovering how to improve the reach and effectiveness of youth mentoring remains an important challenge. Knowledge of effective program models will help to contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals in both developing and developed nations. Significant advances in the field can be made through cross-cultural and -disciplinary collaborations.
