The mandate of the Kinnections Program is to connect Indigenous youth, ages 16 to 18, to volunteer mentors in the community. With the support of positive role-models, youth have the opportunity to realize their strengths and work towards future goals. Our aim is to empower youth and provide them with the tools they need to make positive choices and changes, helping them grow into strong, capable and confident adults.

We are seeking committed volunteer mentors, from all backgrounds, to engage in meaningful and supportive relationships with 16 to 18-year-old Indigenous youth. Volunteer Mentors will meet with their youth throughout the month, and participate in one-on-one, fun, consistent and goal-oriented activities together. Both Indigenous and non-Indigenous persons are encouraged to apply.
