We currently have two high schools participating – Vancouver College and Little Flower Academy. We welcome inquiries from others that would like like to participate.
What We Need From Mentors
Mentors will be asked to commit to one half hour mentorship meeting per week, plus initial training sessions of 1-2 hours in duration. The meetings will be held online so you will need access to a computer and a reliable internet connection.
To apply, please email us to request a form and be prepared to provide two letters of reference OR the contact information of those two references: one teacher and one prior work or volunteer supervisor.
