are instructed primarily in their native languages
and interact with others much like themselves.
Consequently, their exposure to American
and Bay Area life and culture is fairly limited.
The goal of
BSP's mentoring
program is to assist
these youths in their
transition into a new life
and life in general and
at the same time
build endearing
friendships.
The youths attend Newcomer High anywhere
from a few months to a year before they
transfer to a traditional high school. Many
benefit from support during this time
and then again when they face
another change --
applying to
college.
