Group
After-School Mentoring Program
After-School
Mentee Age: 8-12 years old
Time Commitment: 5-7 Weeks
Availability: Grande Prairie & Rural Areas
Our After-School Group Mentoring programs are currently offered in-school either during the lunch hour or directly after school hours by our trained staff and mentors. While these programs were traditionally known as ‘Game On and Go Girl’ in our Organization, we have re-imagined the programs into one in order to serve youth in our region more effectively.
The single, most important goal of the program is to positively shape the lives of all youth by helping them build a positive self-image, and the program is coordinated around the themes of healthy living, positive relationships, positive mental health, self-esteem, leadership, and communication skills – setting youth on a path to reach their full potential in life.
Each session is 1 – 1.5 hours long
