The Children Rising Mentorship Program is an innovative cross-cultural learning exchange and mentorship partnership with youth from Skownan First Nation. Learn about Anishinaabe culture through traditional ceremonies, crafts, teachings, and games, while supporting young learners as they participate in the CareerTrek program. You will take part in pre-program training sessions, two weekend visits to Skownan First Nation, and two Saturday program days in Winnipeg. You will also be paired with a student mentee from Skownan School, and will be responsible for bi-weekly communication with him or her throughout the school year.

Please note: the first pre-program meeting will be held on October 3rd, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The dates of subsequent training meetings will be determined at this meeting.

Participants are eligible for recognition on their Co-Curricular Record (CCR). A complete list of program dates is available in the application package.
