In-School Mentoring is a fun and rewarding program that matches you with a child at their school during school hours. You’ll experience the adventure of childhood all over again. Having fun is easy in school where matches can play games, shoot some hoops, draw, paint, read, or just spend time together. In-School Mentoring is only one hour each week, but you can feel like a kid all week long.

QUOTES - 'He makes me smile...he asks me about university and we talk about the future...I enjoy helping him make good decisions', In-School Mentor
- 'My mentor makes school easier, better, and happier for me...I want to be here more', Grade 5 Mentee
- 'Our mentors had amazing energy and enthusiasm and reallly worked at generating ideas for activities that would draw the kids out and help build a bond. From art projects to jewellery-making to building model cars, the mentors always had something they and the kids could work on together while they were 'hanging out'. We even had a mentor and a child who worked in the parent-child centre's community garden', The Honorable Theresa Oswald, Minister of Healthy Living and former teacher & Vice Principal
