The Wingmate Program is a mentor–mentee initiative built on consistency, trust, and showing up. After signing up, youth will be paired with a mentor who understands the realities of growing up in Thunder Bay and is committed to walking alongside them. The program focuses on building positive relationships: checking in, attending events together, navigating challenges, and celebrating progress. At its core, Wingmate is about creating space for youth to feel seen, supported, and capable of shaping their own future.
