High School Mentorship
The YWCA High School Mentorship program supports young women, non-binary and trans students in high school to build pathways for their future.
Mentors support youth in their transition to further education or employment, nurture their leadership skills and address barriers they may experience along the way.
We match young women, non-binary and trans youth in Grades 11 and 12 (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 required. Mentees and mentors meet a minimum of once each month.
To ensure a low-barrier program, we offer free workshops and events (November - June), in addition to monthly newsletters with free and low-cost activity ideas.
We welcome members of the non-binary, Two-Spirit, trans, queer and disabled communities.
