We are looking for outgoing people who can be role model peer mentors. Mentors will have weekly one-on-one or group meetings with their mentees, acting in a supportive role to help youth gain a greater awareness of the next steps after high-school and to boost the necessary skills to take those steps. This may involve discussions around aspirations, coping skills, and academic preparedness. Mentors may also help guide the mentees through the challenges of transitioning between high school and post-secondary and the process of applying to post-secondary.
Mentors will engage in activities that both parties enjoy, provide academic support in homework clubs, aid in goal setting, and help build educational resiliency. They may also give guided post-secondary tours (virtual or online).
