Youth Mentorship Program

Potential is an important word when it comes to mentorship. It is what we are aiming to foster, and it signifies possibility. In 2023 we developed a youth mentorship program in partnership with our affiliates designed to increase post-secondary participation amongst Black youth. Statistics Canada reported that while 94% of Black youth under 25 would like to go to university or college, only 60% thought they could actually achieve this goal. The program sought to expose youth to post-secondary institutions and cultural opportunities, while affirming Black-centric culture.
