Description
ABSTRACT Minding Our Business (MOB) is a service-learning program designed to meet community needs by advancing the personal and vocational development of urban youth through entrepreneurship education and mentoring. This paper evaluates the effectiveness of MOB as a service-learning course in terms of the short-term effect on the personal and vocational development of urban youth and mentors and the effect on mentors' learning. Key aspects of the service-learning course include a mentor training conference, the class experience and the field experience. Mentor, student and homeroom teacher surveys provide evidence of positive developmental changes occurring in MOB students. Academic records data indicate that the effect of the MOB program on students is favorable, as compared to the control group, in terms of reducing absences and tardiness to school. In addition, end-of-semester mentor surveys indicate that the experience had a positive effect on mentors' vocational and community service plans. Finally, mentor reflections in end-of-semester journal entries provide evidence of a great learning experience and of a positive impact of MOB on their personal and vocational development.
