Are you looking for a way to develop healthy relationships and leadership for your students? As we return to schools many students will be feeling disconnected and disengaged. Teen mentoring can help to create connections and has been shown to increase academic achievement and decrease unhealthy behaviours in both the 'mentor' and 'mentee'.

The objective of this Collaborative Community is to support regional and provincial networks of school-based mentoring educators and mentoring organisations and to provide the framework for a sustainable teen mentoring network.  

For this purpose, supported by a 3 year grant from an anonymous donor in partnership with the Alberta Mentoring Partnership (AMP), AMP will offer the following opportunities to develop and strengthen teen mentoring in schools:

  • A provincial webinar to launch the year in September
  • October North and South virtual workshops
  • North and South webinars in November/December
  • A provincial webinar in March
  • North and South meetings in May virtual workshops

Participants are invited to register at any time and do not have to have attended previous webinars or workshops. 

The September provincial webinar will include:

  • A review of the Teen Mentoring Collaborative Community project
  • Work done to date
  • Mentor/mentee engagement
  • Next steps/topics

Through ongoing engagement in the Collaborative Community, participants will come together to share their experiences, successes, challenges and recommendations in regards to school-based mentoring.
