2 A Mixture of Academic (Tutoring) and Mentoring. Focuses on one-on-one mentoring as well as improving grades. May also involve field trips, speakers, arts programs, etc. Youth usually meet at a central site. Most youth work with the same tutor or mentor each week, usually in a one-on-one or in a small group setting. 

 3 Pure Mentor Program. Youth are usually in a one-on-one partnership with an adult volunteer. May also feature field trips, field trips, or motivational speakers. Scholastic achievement not a primary goal. 

4 Alternative School and/or School-based Program. A learning center or program that takes place at a public or private school during the school day or directly after school.
