Abstract
This study examined the efficacy of two school-based mentoring programs on improving academic achievement and self-concept among elementary school students (N = 55). Results indicated standardized reading, language, and math achievement scores improved significantly from fall to spring in both the Job ASSET Peer Mentor Program and the Adult Mentor Program. In addition, self-concept improved more for students in the Job ASSET Peer Mentor Program compared to those in the Adult Mentor Program. Implications for school counselors are discussed.
