Volunteer Opportunities
Looking for Métis women mentors
Embracing the Spirit of Our Ancestors Mentorship Program
The Embracing the Spirit of Our Ancestors Mentorship Program gives girls in Grades 9-12 in Campbell River the opportunity to meet positive role models, explore their Métis culture, learn leadership skills and better prepare for their futures.
We are looking to match volunteer Métis women (mentors) with high school girls in Grades 9-12 (mentees) in Campbell River for a one-to-one mentoring relationship.
How the program works
Mentors will meet with their mentees once each month in a formal meeting run by NIMA to explore Métis culture, learn new skills, gain life experience and more. Mentors are encouraged to connect with their mentees outside these formal monthly meetings as well to build relationships. The program will run from September 2019 – February 2020.
Getting the most out of being a mentor
Mentors find this most fulfilling when they:
- Plan out regular interactions, such as coffee dates or attend events the mentee is participating in
- Are not afraid to ask questions or offer suggestions
- Are committed and motivated
- Are flexible and open
- Maintain regular and frequent contact with mentors via phone calls or emails
