1:1 Community Mentoring

Thank you for your interest in our 1:1 Community-Based program. Currently we are only accepting applications for female identifying children and youth. This is due to the large size of our waitlist for male identifying children and youth. If your child identifies as non-binary, please reach out to Sydney at 519-438-7065 x 243 to discuss. When we are able to accept new applications for male identifying youth, this message will be updated. 

Please note that it takes longer to get enrolled in our community based program compared to our other programs. If time is a factor for you, you might want to consider some of our other programs.

Applications are accepted for children and youth from 7 to 16 years of age. Please contact us if your child is 17 years of age at 519-438-7065 ext. 243.

Our 1:1 Community Mentoring Program matches young people with a mentor based on shared interests and compatible personalities. This program is open to children and youth who face adversity and are in need of an additional consistent and supportive developmental relationship.

This program lasts for at least one year. Matches meet for two to four hours on a weekly basis in the community and at the volunteer’s home.
