Mentee Responsibilities

Mentees are youth who choose to step into a positive, one-on-one relationship with a mentor. The program is built around their goals, their pace, and their experiences. Whether it’s navigating school, exploring culture, or simply having someone consistent to talk to, mentees are active participants in shaping what the relationship looks like. The program creates space for young people to feel heard and find the support they need.
