Supporting young people by helping to build friendships with adult mentors in the community.

You have a lot of love, care, kindness and knowledge inside you. You could share those qualities with a young person in our community.

The Village Project is a mentoring program for young people between the ages of 7 & 14 years.

It offers adults the opportunity to enhance a young person's life by developing a friendship and having fun together.

Mentors and mentees can engage in any number of activities together:

Play games Play catch Deconstruct a lawnmower Do some craft Listen to music Go for a walk Spend time together "doing nothing" The list is endless

"I experience such joy when I see the delight in my mentee's face whenever she sees me; knowing her acceptance and that I am important to her." (A mentor)
