| One-to-One |
| This is the traditional model of mentoring where one adult is paired with one young person. There typically will be an extensive matching process to insure a strong relationship, and it is expected that the commitment will be for one year or longer. Big Brothers/Big Sisters is an example of a One-to-One mentoring program. |
| Team Mentoring |
| This form of mentoring matches a group of adults with a group of youth in a structured setting. Examples might include a family or group of adult volunteers working with youth in a church program; or a group of employees from a specific dept. working with students from a local school in a work based mentoring program). |
| Group Mentoring |
| One or two adult volunteers build a relationship with a group of youth through regular meetings. Girl Scouts and Boys Scouts are good examples of this type of mentoring. |
