Research shows that the biggest single predictor of a child's future success is the presence in their life of at least one non-parent adult. Youth who have positive adult relationships are:

• More motivated to learn and do better in school.
• Have a better sense of themselves and their future.
• Accept and take responsibility for themselves and others.
• More resilient and less likely to engage in risky behavior.
