Mentoring Research Roundup
MENTOR’s quarterly Mentoring Research Roundup offers mentoring professionals a window into the world of mentoring and youth development research so that they can be informed about key new findings that can improve their work and important new trends that can strengthen the impact of mentoring relationships. Each issue will highlight a feature article illuminating new research, an interview with a leading scholar about their work, and summaries of hot-off-the-press research studies.
At MENTOR, we believe that new research can help programs continuously improve and support everyone in the mentoring movement as we grow mentoring relationships for America’s youth. You can find the current issue and an archive of back issues below.

Edition 1: June, 2026
In this inaugural issue of the Roundup, we sit down with Megyn Jasman and Dr. Jean Rhodes of the Center for Evidence-Based Mentoring about their great new study examining the often-hidden reasons why mentors end their mentoring relationships early, as well as providing summaries of 5 other new key studies in mentoring.
