Have fun, de-stress, and feel like a kid again with our
Group Mentoring program, Game On!
Through fun activity-based play, volunteers provide youth with the knowledge to make informed decisions about a range of healthy lifestyle practices.
Groups meet once weekly for 90 minute sessions during weekday afternoons at schools/community centres and engage in life skills, communication, and social-emotional discussions to encourage healthy life- long habits. The program is led by 2-3 mentors to a group of Littles and runs once a season for 8 to 10 weeks.
Our Group Mentors are
- Male, trans, and gender diverse individuals who are 18+.
- Reliable, consistent, dedicated, and respectful of others.
- Available to meet once weekly for 90-minute sessions from Monday and Friday between 2 30pm and 4 30pm.
Our Game On! volunteers are asked to enroll in two 8-10 week terms as it's the best way to experience this fun group program.
Our Group Mentees are
- Boys, trans, and gender diverse children and youth in grades 4 to 7.
