Change the life of an elementary school aged child

The In-School Mentoring program provides girls and boys with a role model and a friend to talk to and share the experiences of growing up with, 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 in the playground.

The program strives to do the following:

- Provide a role model and a friend for girls and boys

- Promote the importance of staying in school and healthy relationships with family and peers

- Instill trust and self-confidence in order to make healthy decisions

- Encourage leadership skills and independent thinking

- Have mentors make a difference while having fun

The In School Mentoring program requires a weekly visit of 1 hour for the duration of the school year. Matches do not meet over the summer break or during other school holidays.

This volunteer position has no scheduling requirements attached to it. You can work out your availability and time commitment directly with the organizer.

We believe that by changing the course of young lives we can in turn be changing the course of a community’s future. That it could lead to a reduction in poverty and unemployment. Or to safer schools and neighbourhoods, or a renewed optimism for growth. That it could even lead to change on a broader, more far-reaching scale. Serving as role models, our mentors teach by example the importance of giving and giving back, of staying in school, and of having respect for family, peers and community.
