Teen In School Mentoring

Our Teen In School Mentoring program provides girls and boys with a teenage 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 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.

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.
• and above all, make a difference while having fun.
• Mentors are in grades 10, 11 and 12 at Walnut Grove Secondary School and are matched with students at James Kennedy Elementary School.
