We offer two group programs for female-identifying youth and male-identifying youth in grades 6-8. They’re called Go Girls! and Game On and they each run for 14 weeks at various times throughout the year. Participants meet for one hour each week at the child’s school. Each session includes four themes: physical activity, healthy eating, self-esteem, and communication skills.
Go Girls! and Game On are led by young and fun volunteer mentors. Children with mentors in their lives report better mental health, social connections, and educational engagement.
Go Girls!
Go Girls! helps shape the lives of female-identifying youth by creating an environment where they can build a strong and positive self-image. It sets them on a path to reach their full potential.
Contact your child’s school if interested in this program.
Game On
Game On helps male-identifying youth learn how to make positive choices by providing them with information to support a healthy lifestyle. It sets them on a path to reach their full potential.
Contact your child’s school if interested in this program.
For Students in grades 9 to 12.
Pumped for Post-Secondary is a group mentoring program facilitated by Fanshawe student mentors that support youths as they explore post-secondary education and future career pathways. Through interactive workshops, campus experiences at Fanshawe College, and group discussions, participants build confidence, develop academic and life skills, and gain the knowledge and support needed to prepare for post-secondary success.
Pumped for Post Secondary meets weekly at Fanshawe College for 13 weeks during the fall and winter, with breaks built into student calendars.
