In-school Mentoring

One hour per week can ignite the potential within our youth
Good for Youth

The In-School Mentoring program provides elementary school children with either a teen or an adult role model and a friend to talk to. Participants in the program share their experiences of growing up, engage in activities, work on crafts, play on the playground – all within school grounds! For one hour a week, mentors meet with their mentee for a one-on-one mentoring session for the duration of the school year (sessions do not occur over Summer break or other school holidays).

The program strives to do the following:

- Provide a role model and a friend for youth

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

- Instill trust and self-confidence to make healthy decisions

- Encourage leadership skills and independent thinking

- Have mentors make a difference while having fun

- Applicant must live, work or attend school in the Township or City of Langley.

- Applicant must be available to mentor during school hours.

- Matches require a commitment of one school year.

- Matches are closed for the summer but can be re-opened in the new school year if the child still attends the same school.

- Matches meet for 1 hour, once a week, on school property ONLY.

What we offer:

• Letter of recognized volunteer hours

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.
