"THE VALUE OF RELATIONSHIPS: IMPROVING HUMAN SERVICES PARTICIPANT OUTCOMES THROUGH SOCIAL CAPITAL"
https://aspe.hhs.gov/reports/value-relationships-improving-human-services-participant-outcomes-through-social-capital
From the website: "This handbook is a go-to resource for human services providers looking for practical ways to implement social capital building practices to improve participant outcomes. Building on findings from over a year of research on ways human services can build and leverage participant social capital, or the value that arises from connections, networks, and relationships, this handbook details five principles undergirding social capital practices and eight emerging social capital practices. Included in the description of each emerging practice are real world examples of how they have been implemented across the country and a worksheet to help human services providers think about how they can implement these practices in their own work."

5 STEPS FOR BUILDING & STRENGTHENING STUDENTS’ NETWORKS
https://whoyouknow.org/playbook/
From the website: "This playbook was developed by the Clayton Christensen Institute to help K–12 and postsecondary leadership and nonprofits that work with those institutions implement and adapt strategies, tools, and metrics that build and strengthen their students’ networks in support of their well-being and with the aim of expanding their postsecondary and career options. Although we offer tools and tactics that could be implemented in standalone programming or courses, we urge users to treat network-building as a system-wide goal, rather than a one-off effort reserved for only a few students."
A SOCIAL CAPITAL THEORY OF CAREER SUCCESS
https://journals.aom.org/doi/abs/10.5465/3069452
From the web site: "ABSTRACT: A SOCIAL CAPITAL THEORY OF CAREER SUCCESS: A theoretical model that integrates previously competing theories of social capital with the literature on career success was developed and tested with a sample of 448 employees in a range of occupations and organizations. Social capital was conceptualized in terms of network structure (weak ties and structural holes) and social resources (contacts in other functions and contacts at other organizational levels). Results of a SEM showed that network structure was related to social resources and that the effects of social resources on career success were fully mediated by three network benefits: access to information, access to resources, and career sponsorship." Tutor/Mentor Connection Comment: If this is true for people in the workforce, can a case be made for mentoring as a strategy to expand social networks for disadvantaged youth, or to expand the networks for workplace volunteers?

ADDRESSING SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL NEEDS (PPT)
https://www.powershow.com/view/9562a-ZWMzY/Addressing_Student_Social_and_Emotional_Needs_powerpoint_ppt_presentation#
This link points to a ppt titled "Addressing Student Social and Emotional Needs', created by Michael E. Woolley, Ph.D., University of Chicago School of Social Service Administration. The following points are made in this ppt, * Research consistently shows that a student’s attitudes and beliefs about school predict better behavior and academic performance " * When student report more supportive adults—at home, in their neighborhood , and at school—they have higher levels of positive attitudes and behaviors about school *The presence of supportive adults reduces the impact of environmental risk factors. * When student reported levels of risk factors and supportive adults are taken into account, race/ethnicity differences disappear, and family SES differences reduce. How can leaders of volunteer-based tutor/mentor programs use this information to build funding support for volunteer-based tutor/mentor programs operating in non-school hours and at schools or community based organizations?

MEASURING SOCIAL CAPITAL. 2020 CHRISTENSEN INSTITUTE PDF
https://staging.whoyouknow.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/THE-MISSING-METRICS.pdf

NEIGHBORHOOD SOCIAL CAPITAL, PDF
http://www.tutormentorexchange.net/images/PDF/neighborhood_social_capital.pdf

ON SOCIAL POVERTY: HUMAN DEVELOPMENT AND THE DISTRIBUTION OF SOCIAL CAPITAL
https://www.josephlewandowski.com/images/Social_Poverty.pdf
Article by Joseph D. Lewandowski. He writes “Among social scientists, development theorists, and policy makers there is today an emergent consensus about the multidimensional and contextual character of poverty. Working within the framework of such a consensus in this article, I attempt to identify the social dimension of human poverty. Most generally, I try to sketch an account of social poverty as a shared normative (or soft) constraint on human action and interaction.” In this paper he argues that “social poverty is an absence or scarcity of vertical social capital.“ Read the full paper.

SOCIAL MOBILITY IN AMERICA - 2016 ARTICLE

This article illustrates that where you are born and who your parents are has huge impact on life-well-being. Includes quote saying "No single program does very much to close the gap between children from lower- and higher-income families. But the combined effects of multiple programs – that is, from intervening early and often in a child's life – has a surprisingly big impact." Public/Private sector strategies that fill high poverty neighborhoods with a variety of youth supports should be one response to this article.
