WHAT IS IT?

Our exciting mentorship programs promote self-esteem, self-worth and enable youth to envision and actualize their own potential.  As school-based programs, each individual mentorship program caters to the students’ and schools’ needs.  This twelve week program is a project based program that will allow youth to tap into their leadership skills while taking ownership and a leadership role on multiple projects.  This program is designed to allow youth to experience the fulfillment of community involvement as their projects will benefit community organizations and allow them to see how an individual can truly make a difference.

Fall 2009

Elementary school programs encompass a wide range of activities from academic support and physical activities to the development of new skills. This year, in response to changing needs, the program will focus on leadership skills and allow students the opportunity to create positive change by giving back to the community.

HOW OFTEN?

The program is to be 12 weeks in length, scheduled to start in Fall 2009. It will run on a weekly basis after school for one hour.

WHERE?

This program will run in the Lower Mainland. The program launch will be in elementary schools and the January session will expand to high schools. The volunteers are to be consistent in each school — this ensures predictability and also helps to build relationships with youth involved in the program.

WHO SHOULD BE INVOLVED?

This is a great program for all youth to become involved to enhance and build on leadership skills that will contribute to future success, while spending quality time with positive role models. If you are an elementary or high school student looking to tap into your leadership potential, get in touch with us!

If you are at least 18 years old and looking for a fulfilling volunteer experience, enjoy working with youth and consider yourself a positive role model to others, you are a candidate for our program. This is a great opportunity to work with youth and give back to the community by providing leadership skills to elementary and high school students to become more confident, self-assured individuals.

OKAY… BUT WHAT DO I GET OUT OF PARTICPATING IN THE PROGRAM?

As a student in the program, you’ll get to meet new people, learn about how you can build on your current strengths and make a direct impact in your community through various leadership projects.

As a Mentor in the program, you’ll also meet new people, help youth find their way with respect to career and/or personal goals, and you know what? You will feel really great about the difference you will make in someone’s life. Why wouldn’t you get involved???
