The Canadian Centre for Mentoring Research is thrilled to welcome Dr. Thomas Keller as its first visiting scholar. Dr. Keller is a prominent researcher in the youth mentoring. Some of his important contributions include the systemic model of youth mentoring (2005) which highlighted the significant influence parents and caregivers and program staff have on mentoring relationships. Dr. Keller also directs the Summer Institute on Youth Mentoring (SIYM), a preeminent professional development opportunity for program staff. The SIYM also plays a key role in the translation of cutting-edge research findings into practice.
