PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The WoodGreen Mentorship Program brings University of Toronto students into the community on Saturday mornings from 10:30 to 12:30 (9:30-13:00 for trips) throughout the academic year to act as mentors for children and youth coming from disadvantaged backgrounds. Our program offers students interested in working with children aged 6-12 an opportunity to develop a bond with a child, make a difference in a child’s life and get to know their community better. As part of the program, we host interactive workshops and trips aimed at getting children to learn about healthy living, explore the world around them (e.g. through visit to the ROM or OSC) and develop their creativity as well as their social skills. The program takes place at the WoodGreen Community Centre (251 Cosburn Ave.) and lunch is provided every session.
