Owen Consulting designed, implemented, and evaluated the company’s corporate-youth workplace mentoring program in accordance with NYC Department of Education requirements and evidence-based effective mentoring practices for over ten years. Our team led mentor recruitment, training, and ongoing supervision of more than 40 mentoring pairs annually, strengthening the overall program and school partnership. We provided comprehensive program and outcome evaluation to monitor implementation and measure impact. The program regularly achieved high rates of match retention, participant satisfaction, and target youth development and mentoring outcomes.
Case Study
Goldman Sachs & Co. MCA Mentoring Program
What They Say
Owen Consulting was not only the right organization at the right time (the school, ISA, and Goldman Sachs were in the process of revamping the mentoring program) but they possessed an expert arsenal of tools to go along with the necessary flexibility and adaptability we required. From the beginning, Dave sought to fashion a program that fit with and around our prevailing constraints and requirements. He and his colleagues are so well grounded in youth development theory and Mentoring practice that it gave me, the administrator, permission to not be the expert on the best approaches. Owen Consulting knew how to actually build the program and how to make it work. There is no overestimating how valuable a skill that is to a busy manager. As a direct result of Owen Consulting’s involvement with the MCA Mentoring Program, it is stronger than it has ever been and, more importantly, many more young people’s lives are being positively impacted than would otherwise be the case.
