Youth Mentorship Program
We offer a youth mentorship program based upon traditional concepts of leading from within the community. The mentorship program has three components : recruitment and pairing of individual mentors and youth, group mentorship activities, and mentorship outreach.
Healing our communities from within is an integral piece of holistic Indigenous wellness. We aim to connect our youth and families with distinctive and culturally relevant mentoring opportunities. Our mentoring activities are both experiential and steeped in culture. Our program is three tiered.
- Recruitment and training of volunteer mentors as well as criminal record checks.
- Pairing youth with a mentor to work towards building a relationship.
- Mentor and youth will connect through online and face to face meetings.
- Youth will engage in new activities while mentors will offer support, guidance and advice.
- Group Mentorship activities offered include fellow mentors and youth in order to build a support network within the community.
