Change someone's life trajectory.
Support a young person's growth.
Over 15,000 young people are waiting for a mentor — someone just like you.
The COVID-19 pandemic has left many young people feeling alone and disconnected. Many are struggling to finish school and find jobs.
Offer mentorship through video calls and online messaging.
Mentor a young person from a flexible, virtual setting.
Mentoring programs across Canada are connecting mentors and young people virtually through e-mentoring programs. In-person programs are also starting to re-open.

Not sure that you have what it takes to be a mentor?
You don't need any special skills to become a mentor. All you need is an open mind and an interest in making a difference in the life of a young person between the ages of 6 and 30.
Worried about the time commitment? Whether you want to volunteer once a week or once a month, you can find mentorship opportunities that fit your schedule.
Mentoring changes lives.
If you've ever had a mentor — at work, at school, or in your life — then you know that mentoring can change lives. Many of us have had mentors — caring adults who have supported us in our lives or careers.
Young people who are mentored are:
- 53 percent more likely to report good or excellent mental health.
- Over 2x as likely to have completed high school.
- 95 percent more likely to have pursued further education after high school.
