The Student Mentoring Program pairs UNB Saint John student volunteers with youth from kindergarten to grade 5 at Hazen White-St. Francis School.
From September to April volunteers spend an hour a week at Hazen White-St. Francis. Mentors provide educational support through engaging in structured activities designed to assist in literacy skills.
Sessions run Monday to Friday through fall and winter semesters. Mentoring provides the youth with a positive role model, as well as academic and social support. UNB Saint John volunteers gain hands-on experience and build meaningful connections.
Due to Covid-19 our mentoring program has changed. Mentors will be meeting with students via MS Teams. Coordinators will be on site at Hazen White-St. Francis facilitating calls. All materials and training for mentoring will be provided on D2L.
