Teen Mentors commit to spending consistent weekly time with a child (mentee) being a friend, role model, and confident. Teen mentors meet one-to-one with an assigned mentee and participate in games, activities, crafts, conversation, and goal setting. Teen mentors listen to their mentees, provide support and guidance, help them to build communication and social skills, and develop a friendship based on trust, respect and fun. This is a partnership with BGC North Simcoe.

A S2F Virtual Coach has a significant role to encourage children on a weekly basis for positive change physically, mentally and emotionally through fitness and literacy. Coaches help to build confidence and motivation within children, while reducing learning gaps and developing a
lifelong love of learning.

Being a S2F volunteer is one of the most enjoyable and fulfilling things you’ll ever do. Shape Canadian children's futures for the better by being a friend and a teammate. And the best part is, it’s actually a lot of fun. Volunteer and use your skills to help break the cycle of child poverty!
