One to One Mentoring
Community-Based Mentoring
The community-based mentoring program provides youth with a role model to talk to and share the experiences of growing up with. The mentor and mentee will meet for 6-8 hours a month and engage in like-minded activities. A relationship is developed between the mentor and the mentee, which is built on trust and common interests. The result is a life-changing experience for both the mentor and the mentee.
We do ask for a minimum one year commitment.
Teen Mentoring
The teen mentoring program provides youth the opportunity to begin mentoring at the age of 14. The teen mentor goes to their mentee’s school one day a week for one hour where they engage in like-minded activities outside of the classroom setting. This is in a supervised environment. A relationship is developed between the mentor and the mentee, which is built on trust and common interests. The result is a life-changing experience for both the mentor and the mentee.
In-School Mentoring Adult
The In-School mentoring program provides youth with a role model and a friend to talk to and share the experiences of growing up within school grounds. For one hour a week, mentors meet with their mentee and engage in activities such as board games, crafts or just hang out on school grounds.
The In-School mentoring program requires a weekly visit of one hour for the duration of the school year. Matches do not meet over the summer break or during other school holidays.
