JJI will collaborate with Legal Aid on all elements of conducting, assigning, recruiting, researching, and sharing the evaluation goals and objectives. The initiative currently provides civil legal services to youth, however, JJI will work with the program to randomly assign mentors to youth legal aid works with. The outcomes of youth assigned a mentor will be tested to examine whether youth with mentors have improved outcomes as compared to youth who did not receive a mentor. | |||
