Steps in our Application Process:
Please watch our family intake video below to learn more about how each child is matched with a volunteer mentor before starting the application process.
To be eligible for a mentor, your child must be aged between 7 and 16 years old. They must live in Greater Victoria (Port Renfrew to Sidney).
Submitting an application form does not guarantee acceptance into our programs or that a mentor can be found for your child.
