Abstract
A method for providing incentive to mentors of at-risk mentees is described. The method comprises the steps of determining an at-risk mentee's behavior and progress in a period of time, determining the mentee's income and income tax payments during the same period of time, and calculating a financial incentive to the mentee's mentor, wherein the amount of the financial incentive is calculated based on the mentee's behavior and/or income tax payment during the period of time.
Claims20
A method for providing mentoring service to at-risk people, comprising the steps of:
- receiving, via a user interface of an application executing on one or more computer processors, a risk profile concerning an at-risk subject, wherein the risk profile comprises a plurality of risk factors;
- assigning, via one or more computer processors, a risk point value to each of the plurality of risk factors based on severity level of the subject's risk factors and a risk point matrix stored on a memory device accessible by the one or more computer processors;
- determining, via the one or more computer processors, a total risk point value of the subject via the one or more computer processors;
- and
- when the total risk point value equals to or exceeds a predetermined threshold value, accepting the at-risk subject as a mentee;
- assigning, via the one or more computer processors, a mentor to the mentee, wherein the mentor is selected from a mentor qualification database on a memory device accessible by the one or more computer processors;
- approving the assigned mentor by an oversight board;
- receiving, via a user interface of the application, the mentee's progress report after the establishment of a mentor-mentee relationship;
- comparing, via one or more computer processors, the mentee's progress to at-risk population success odds or ex-convict success odds stored on a memory device accessible by the one or more computer processors;
- and
- providing, via the one or more computer processors, a financial incentive to the mentor based on result of the comparing step;
- wherein the financial incentive is provided in the form of an income tax credit or a cash payment to the mentor,
- wherein the amount of the financial incentive is calculated based on the mentee's behavior and the mentee's income tax payment.
A system for providing mentoring service to at-risk people, comprising:
- one or more computer processors;
- and
- one or more tangible computer readable media accessible by the one or more computer processors, wherein the one or more tangible computer readable media comprise instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform:
- receiving, via a user interface of an application executing on one or more computer processors, a risk profile concerning an at-risk subject, wherein the risk profile comprises a plurality of risk factors;
- assigning, via one or more computer processors, a risk point value to each of the plurality of risk factors based on severity level of the subject's risk factors and a risk point matrix stored on a memory device accessible by the one or more computer processors,
- determining, via the one or more computer processors, a total risk point value of the subject via the one or more computer processors;
- and
- when the total risk point value equals to or exceeds a predetermined threshold value, accepting the at-risk subject as a mentee;
- assigning, via the one or more computer processors, a mentor to the mentee, wherein the mentor is selected from a mentor qualification database on a memory device accessible by the one or more computer processors and is approved by an oversight board;
- receiving, via a user interface of the application, the mentee's progress report after the establishment of a mentor-mentee relationship;
- comparing, via one or more computer processors, the mentee's progress to at-risk population success odds or ex-convict success odds stored on a memory device accessible by the one or more computer processors;
- and
- providing, via the one or more computer processors, a financial incentive to the mentor based on result of the comparing step,
- wherein the financial incentive is provided in the form of an income tax credit or a cash payment to the mentor, wherein the amount of the financial incentive is calculated based on the mentee's behavior and the mentee's income tax payment.
A computer system for providing incentive to mentors of at-risk mentees, comprising
- a computer processor;
- and
- one or more tangible computer readable media accessible by the computer processor, wherein the one or more tangible computer readable media comprise instructions that, when executed by the computer processor, cause the computer processor to perform:
- determining a mentee's behavior and progress in a period of time;
- determining the mentee's income and income tax payments during the same period of time or a different period of time;
- and
- calculating a financial incentive for the mentee's mentor, wherein the amount of the financial incentive is calculated based on the mentee's behavior and income tax payment during the period of time using a compensation matrix stored in the one or more tangible computer readable media.
