About This Opportunity
Who are the youth you will mentor?
YAY matches driven volunteer youth mentors with younger youth ages 6 to 15 in Toronto and York Region in one-to-one peer mentoring relationships. We match in your neighborhood.
YAY provides in-depth training, ongoing monitoring, access to weekly activities and 24/7 emergency support to help you both grow and succeed.

Mentor time commitment:
We ask youth mentors to dedicate 10 hours each month for at least 1 year to support their mentee on a weekly basis, both in-person and virtually.
Youth volunteers must complete our screening process before being matched with a mentee. This includes a brief interview, reference check and vulnerable sector screening. We also ask volunteers to commit 5 hours to complete mandatory virtual training. Our screening and training process is critical for success, providing a solid foundation for a meaningful volunteer experience, strong mentoring relationship and powerful dual impact for you and your mentee.
