Become a Mentor

"As I have been fortunate to have mentors in my life who guided me when I needed help, I owe it to life to do the same for another human being. I see a mentor as a sounding board, a confidante and a positive adult relationship. The opportunity to become that itself is such a rewarding experience for me." - Nisha Balachandran

We welcome community members to act as positive adult role models and provide guidance to youth when it comes to school, careers and life. Find out if this is the role for you!

When

Mentors are asked to commit one year to the program to ensure consistency and stability.

Where

When matched with a youth, you'll meet twice a month at a time and place that works for you both.

How to apply

We carefully screen every applicant and pair successful candidates with youth based on compatibility and need. If you’re interested in becoming a mentor, please fill out our Mentor at Covenant House Toronto (easyapply.co).
