Value For Money Evaluation
 

Are youth mentoring programs good value-for-money? An evaluation of the Big Brothers Big Sisters Melbourne Program is published in the Bio Med Journal in January, 2009.

A threshold analysis was undertaken to determine whether investment in the program was a worthwhile use of limited public funds. The potential cost savings were based on US estimates of life-time costs associated with high-risk youth who drop out-of-school and become adult criminals. The intervention was modelled for young people aged 10–14 years residing in Melbourne in 2004.

The initial research was undertaken by Marjory Moodie and funded through The William Buckland Foundation.
