Our Teen In-School Mentoring program provides girls and boys with a teenage role model and a friend to talk to and share the experiences of growing up with, within school grounds. For one hour a week, mentors meet with their mentee and engage in activities such as board games, crafts or just hang out in the playground.

The In-School Mentoring program requires a weekly visit of 1 hour for the duration of the school year. Matches do not meet over the summer break or during other school holidays.

The program strives to do the following:

• Provide a role model and a friend for girls and boys
• Promote the importance of staying in school and healthy relationships with family and peers
• Instill trust and self-confidence in order to make healthy decisions
• Encourage leadership skills and independent thinking
• Have mentors make a difference while having fun
