Mentoring as the central concept of this thesis represents a strong emotional interaction between an older and a younger person. It is a relationship in which the older member uses trust, love and experience to guide the younger one. Reviewing the available literature attested the need for research and improvement in this area. The purpose of this thesis is to expand the cognizance of mentoring young at-risk people in order to improve the guidelines for further implementation of this working method. The thesis starts with an overview of the relevant literature about mentoring, at-risk behavior, and at-risk youth with the focus on the female population, considering that the whole thesis is based on analysis of mentoring at-risk girls. The second part of the thesis gives a mentoring analysis from the point of view of the mentored girl, as well as an overview of the Services centre in Dugave community, i.e. Institution for education of children and youth, where she has been placed. This is followed by the analysis of the data gathered during the mentoring. Upbringing of children in modern times is accompanied by numerous risk factors which influence the biopsychosocial growth and development of children and youth.

If that relationship is not present in a child's environment, it can be boosted with a mentoring relationship. That way mentor is helping the growth and development of his mentee through friendly and familial relationship, and at times professional one. The goal of the thesis is to display the course and development of mentoring relationship with an at-risk girl, and to research and describe the experience of mentoring a young at-risk person from the perspective of both the mentee and the mentor. The thesis is rounded off with specific guidelines for further advancement of mentoring at-risk girls. The thesis confirms it is warranted to create and implement mentoring programs, as well as offering guidelines for the further development of mentoring programs for the at-risk population, with particular focus on the specific needs of at-risk girls.
