When we talk about peer mentoring, we talk an awful lot about our graduates getting involved with our participants. Right now we're having a meeting every two weeks with the participants and graduates, which the graduates wanted us to do, to talk to them about their problems and to help them out along the way. Many of our graduates become sponsors of our participants in different things in the community because they keep coming back to court. It's not unusual to see one or two or three people who are graduating from our program in our court every week to support one another.
