Peer Mentorship Program
Explore topics that are important to you, build leadership skills, and work towards a project online.
The Peer Mentorship Program is designed to provide preteens (ages 10-12) with meaningful virtual programming, in a safe and nurturing environment, that is open to everyone.
Play interactive games and age-appropriate activities alongside peers, youth mentors and staff. Work together on key topics, while developing teamwork and communication skills.
Participate online for free through Microsoft Teams.

Thursdays: April 8-May 27 at 4-5pm
