Mentorship has become a crucial part of the BC School Curriculum, and we ensure that it plays a big role in engaging with students during Career and Post-Secondary Guidance classes. Alumni mentors play a pivotal role in the education delivered during these exploratory career years and having our alumni support our students has proven to be very beneficial for everyone involved.
The ASK Program enables alumni to share their professional and personal experiences with current students that will help prepare them for a successful future while also providing alumni the opportunity to connect with the current school community.
This school year, we are looking to match roughly 140 Grade 10 and 11 students with alumni who have graduated between 1999-2019.
All interactions will be virtual, so even if you don’t live in the area anymore, you’re still welcome to be a part of the program. Last year, mentees were expected to connect with their mentors up to five times between November-February, and the expectation will be similar this year.
