Teen In-School Mentoring is a traditional program with a twist!  It mirrors our In-School Mentoring program, but rather than the volunteer mentors being adults, they are SD #60 Secondary School Students.

This is a school-based program that matches elementary school students with high school students who will meet weekly to participate in activities - that are not academically based!   It’s not about homework!  Teen In-School Mentoring is a program that takes place at the elementary school, during school hours, but is about having fun with a friend and not about studying!  The Big spends one hour per week doing a fun activity or just talking with a child who could use a friend.

Younger students gain valuable social interaction through their new friendship and the high school students learn leadership skills and the benefits of being a volunteer, while also earning school credits.

It's easy to get involved, just call (250) 787-9674!!
