Career Mentor for Youths

Volunteer mentors can support young adults by assisting them in building their life skills, getting involved in the community, and opening up new networking opportunities. Mentors contribute to young adults’ success by modeling employment-related skills and behaviours, and by becoming a caring and consistent figure in their lives. With the support and guidance of mentors, Aspire participants can make more informed decisions about their current situations and future pathways. Volunteer mentors are intentionally matched with participants depending on if their skills/interests/hobbies align with the participant’s goals.
