One to One Mentoring

One-to-One Big and Little Mentoring

The One-to-One mentoring program provides youth 6 to 16 years old with a with a role model to talk to and share the experiences of growing up with. Through regular outings, a relationship is developed between the mentor and the mentee, which is built on trust and common interests, and is supported by our experienced case-workers. The result is a life-changing experience for both the mentor and the mentee.

The One-to-One mentoring program usually requires two regularly scheduled outings a month of a few hours each and a minimum of a one year commitment.
