We are pleased to present our new Match Activity Guide.  This guide is geared towards our In School Mentoring matches to assist them with ideas and suggestions for their weekly visits with their Little Buddy.

We also encourage our Community Based Mentors to have a look at the guide for possible suggestions and ideas that you and your Little could do together during your weekly visits.

Any feedback or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Please forward them to Brenda Knoppi, our Office Administrator, at mentoringworks.ca.
