The In-School mentoring program provides youth with a role model and a friend to talk to and share the experiences of growing up 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 on school grounds.

The In-School mentoring program requires a weekly visit of one hour for the duration of the school year. Matches do not meet over the summer break or during other school holidays.

WHAT IS MENTORING?
There are many things that are a part of mentoring, but the most important pieces are a willingness to be a friend and spending time with someone doing things that you both enjoy.

WHAT SORT OF THINGS OR ACTIVITIES DO I DO AS A MENTOR?
This depends on you and your match! What sort of activities do you like to do? Many of our matches share interests so they like to do those activities together. Matches get to do fun activities together like games, crafts, sports, and activities on the school grounds.

WHAT TYPE OF TIME COMMITMENT IS THERE?
For the ISM program it is one hour per week at the school during school hours. If this isn’t a fit, we have other programs that are designed for shorter lengths of time. Our biggest ask is that it is consistent, quality time you are spending with your mentee.
