For Community

Making Contact, Mentorship program

Mentorship is a powerful coming together of people from diverse parts of the community. 

The Making Contact, Mentorship program matches elementary school students (grades 4-7, ages 9-13) throughout the Vancouver School District with volunteer mentors to complete a project in an area of mutual passion.

It is a hands-on, person to person experience which meet the student's needs and goals that can't be met in the classroom.

If you have a special talent or interest that could be shared with an elementary school student with talent and potential, you are invited to become a mentor.

Visit the Making Contact Mentorship website for more information.
