Mentorship

KEEP Youth Mentorship Program is designed to support youth who are experiencing negative and unhealthy distractions, delinquent behaviour, and social barriers to completing their secondary diploma.

We have created a 12-week mentorship program that supports youth from grades 9-12 who are displaying attitudes and behaviours that will hinder their ability to excel academically, therefore creating pathways for delinquent activity. Our team facilitates this program directly in the school or at neighbouring community centres so that we can work in collaboration with Principals, Teachers, Child and Youth Workers, and community agents who will refer students to Keep6ix. 

KEEP Youth Mentorship Program runs 1 session per week for 12 weeks. We provide a light meal and snacks because we recognize that if the young person is hungry, they will be irritable and unengaged. Our team facilitates fun, media-packed activities that teach pro-social behaviours, life-skills, and address risk factors that lead to problematic situations. We can customize our program to address specific issues at the request of the community partner.

Keep6ix believes that mentoring is built on a foundation of respect, honesty, and trust. We go through great lengths in ensuring that staff are equipped and can demonstrate the natural ability to establish rapport, build relationships, and engage youth. Our mentorship program works parallel and in collaboration with the educational system to reduce truancy, eliminate travel cost to youth, and reduce program expenses.
