Game On! group programs are designed for boys ages 11-14 and provides them with information to help make informed choices about healthy, active living. The goal of the program is that participants develop self-esteem, healthy eating habits and be physically active.
Volunteer Commitment: 2 hours/week | 7 weeks
You will lead a group of 8-12 students alongside another volunteer. Each session takes place on school property during the school day and focuses on promoting healthy living. Program manuals and training are provided.
Through regular outings, a relationship is developed between the Mentors and the children, built on trust and common interests, and is supported by our experienced Program Coordinators. The result is a life-changing experience for both the volunteer Mentors and children.
Our volunteers are caring adults, with various skill sets and a range of experience working with children. Volunteers are extensively screened, receive training regarding child safety, and are supported through consistent contact with Program Coordinators.
The Game On! Program strives to:
- promote healthy living and openly discuss current issues facing boys and young men
- build appreciation for the benefits of healthy eating habits
- promote physical exercise through the use of non-traditional activities
- instill respect for socio-economic, ethno-cultural and racial diversity
- encourage leadership skills and independent thinking
- and above all, make a difference.

Serving as role models, our mentors teach by example the importance of giving and giving back, of staying in school and having respect for family, peers and community.
Each time we pair a child with a mentor or introduce a group of kids to a group program, we start something.
Whether it’s in the form of time or money there is no more important investment we can make than in helping children realize and live their potential.
