Mentors Program

There are two types of mentoring opportunities available to you:

A supportive relationship between a U of L student mentor and youth (two students to each mentor). Mentorship enables the participants to share common interests and spend time together in social activities such as games and sporting events; recreational activities such as swimming, bowling or the climbing wall; pow-wows or other shared interests.

Alumni mentorship
If you are a current U of L student, you may benefit from the wisdom and advice of U of L FNMI alumni. Alumni mentors are available to offer guidance and support throughout your university experience and help you build the confidence to reach your goals.

To get involved with either program, please contact:
