High School Mentorship Podcast | From Mentee to Mentor
Have you ever wondered how having a mentor can impact your career goals after high school?
The High School Mentorship program matches Grades 11 and 12 girls* (mentees) with volunteer professionals (mentors) for a one-to-one mentoring relationship.
Matches are based on career and education goals, hobbies, and the level of support needed. Throughout the program, mentors and mentees meet at least once a month and attend at least one workshop offered by the YWCA.
* This program is open to youth who self-identify as girls, non-binary or gender diverse. We warmly welcome members of the BIPOC, 2SLGBTQIA+ and Disabled communities.
