Intakes Paused
We have temporarily paused accepting new children and youth applications due to a critical shortage of volunteers and funding. This decision, effective immediately, is a response to our current capacity challenges that impact our ability to match new mentees with mentors.
We continue to try and recruit new mentors and do our best to accommodate as many youth as possible, thank you for your interest.
CRITERIA
HOW IT WORKS
When applying for our programs, a child must be between the ages of 6 and 16 years. The mentoring relationship can be supported by the agency through to 18 years of age.
A Case Manager will work with you and your child to review your situation and determine how a mentor would be of benefit. Factors that would be considered regarding your child’s needs include:
- Parent or guardian support
- Adult involvement other than the parent(s) or guardian(s)
- Peer relationships
- School performance
- Living environment
- Ability to form and maintain a healthy, safe relationship
- Ability to perform self-care
