NYARS Role Models for Young People

This project explored the extent and use of role model programs and their effectiveness, with the aim of informing the development of role model programs for young people. The findings from a literature review, survey and case studies suggest that the common features of effective role model programs include young-people-sensitive administration/management of programs; flexibility; the development of networks; mechanisms for ongoing feedback and evaluation; and sufficient resources for programs to achieve their aims.

The report of the project 'Role Models for Young People: What makes an effective role model program?' is published by Australian Clearinghouse for Youth Studies for NYARS.
