YWCA High School Mentorship program

We match young cis and trans women, and gender-diverse 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 and attend a minimum of one workshop offered by the program staff during the program duration (November to June).

Our program welcomes members of the LGBTQIA2S+ and Disabled communities and primarily serves cis and trans women and people who are systemically marginalized due to their gender identity and gender expression.

Commitment:

• A minimum of 1 meet up with your match per month (min. 1 hour) from November to June
• Attend a minimum of 1 workshop/event hosted by YWCA program staff with your match
• Engage and communicate with your match in between meet ups
