Mentorship Program
KidsPlay Foundation provides free mentorship support.
KidsPlay Mentorship Programs consist of weekly mentorship programs for youth and afterschool programs run by the organization in the LowerMainland and Fraser Valley schools. Our goal with our mentorship programs is to provide guidance and opportunity to under guided youth by providing them with programs designed to teach them necessary skills to develop into future leaders of our community.
Not only are these programs run inside the school premises, there are special field trips that are put together by mentors such as tubing at Seymour Mountain, playing soccer at BC Place, trips to the Science World, Vancouver Aquarium, and PNE. Some opportunities also include going to watch high level sports games – we were able to take kids to watch the World Junior Hockey Championships games. Movie nights, counseling sessions and much more are provided as needed. Our mentors have witnessed gradual growth helping children every step of the way, and being able to handle everyday situations better. These youth know that there is an outlet for them to access, someone they could rely on, and a safe place to belong.
