1200h of Mentorship – Investing in the Full Potential of Youth
1200 Hours of Mentorship to Transform Lives: Our December 2024 Campaign
This December, a month symbolizing sharing and generosity, we are launching the initiative « 1200 Hours of Mentorship – Investing in the Full Potential of Youth. »
By December 31, our goal is to raise $25,000 to provide 1,200 hours of mentorship to marginalized youth facing adversity.
Thanks to the support of the Fonds Mille et Un pour la Jeunesse, if we reach our goal, every dollar donated will be matched, doubling the impact of every contribution.
In the past three years, family requests for mentorship have skyrocketed, especially for neurodivergent youth, those from marginalized communities, and those facing mental health challenges or social exclusion. In response, BBBS Greater Montreal provides tailored mentorship services that foster resilience, self-confidence, and academic perseverance.
This campaign also emphasizes diversity and inclusion, focusing on youth with high potential, from Black, Indigenous, 2SLGBTQIA+ communities, and those in the child protection system. Thanks to community partners like Haut Potentiel Québec, this campaign will help develop programs tailored to the unique needs of youth who often face additional challenges.
Each hour of mentorship gives a young person the chance to build confidence and resilience. Every donation matters because behind every hour of mentorship are moments of connection, listening, and support that transform lives. Together, we can create significant impact, one hour at a time. »
— Amélie Martel, Interim Executive Director, BBBS Greater Montreal.
During this season of generosity and sharing, BBBS Greater Montreal invites the public to get involved. Every contribution, no matter how small, can make a meaningful difference and transform a young person’s life: $30 provides one hour of mentorship, support, listening, and encouragement.
