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 week terms as it's the best way to experience this fun program.

Our Group Mentees are

  • Boys, trans, and gender diverse children and youth in grades 4 to 7.
  • Youth who could benefit from building self-confidence and learning healthy lifestyle choices.

Benefits
