January 21, 2026 The Critical Link: A Deep Dive into the 'Unlocking Doors' Study on Mentorship and Opportunity Gaps for Racialized Young Adults

Move Beyond Insight: Learn How Mentorship is a Proven Strategy to Close Opportunity Gaps for Racialized Youth.

Join Mentor Canada and the Social Research and Demonstration Corporation (SRDC) for a deeper dive into the findings of our groundbreaking study, "Unlocking Doors: Research on Mentoring to Strengthen Skills and Support Career Pathways for Racialized Young Adults."

This new research unequivocally reveals the critical link between mentorship and closing the persistent opportunity gaps for racialized youth—a finding confirmed by the authentic experiences of over 3,100 young adults surveyed.

During this launch event, you will learn:

  • How mentorship is a crucial tool in addressing systemic challenges like youth unemployment and well-being barriers.

  • Concrete evidence on how mentoring helps racialized young adults (aged 18-30) significantly strengthen skills for success, increase professional confidence, access meaningful opportunities, and improve well-being.

  • The critical gaps in mentorship access for Black, Indigenous, or People of Colour (BIPOC) youth that organizations, educators, and policymakers must address immediately.

  • 10 Key Recommendations for Policy and Practice derived directly from the research to help you move from insight to action and maximize impact.

Don't miss this opportunity to gain evidence-based strategies to unlock doors for the next generation of racialized youth. Register below!
