Aboriginal Mentorship Program

Become a Mentee

YWCA Metro Vancouver's Aboriginal Mentorship Program aims to empower Aboriginal teen girls through an arts- and culture-based group mentoring relationship.

The program provides life skills and builds capacity in Aboriginal teen girls by connecting them with positive adult Aboriginal role models. Read Priscilla and Jayleen's story.
