In-School Mentoring:

ISM is a one-to-one mentoring relationship, which takes place during school hours in various elementary schools throughout York Region and Bradford West Gwillimbury. Children in this program are identified by school staff and are matched with caring adults who help to motivate them and build their self-esteem. Activities may include sports, playing board games, crafts, and talking. Expected commitment for this program is 1 hour a week from September to June. Volunteers are required to be 18 years or older for this program.

Teen Mentors:

The Teen Mentors program is a variation of the In-School Mentoring Program, where high school students, ages 16 to 17 years, spend time with a child at a local elementary school. This is an opportunity to enhance the life of a younger peer through consistent involvement in their life. Expected commitment for this program is 1 hour a week from September to June.
