Sidekicks Mentoring Program Needs You!

January 20, 2010

Mentoring Works! Who was your mentor? Who contributed to the person that you are today and inspired you to be better?

Sidekicks Mentoring is a St. Albert program that matches mature, responsible community volunteers to St. Albert’s youth at risk. The children often come from single parent, low-income families and are in need of a positive role model and friend to spend quality time with. Once matched it is up to the volunteer and youth to deicide on the activities that they do. They can range anywhere from crafts, games and sports, to outings, movies and visits to local attractions.

By providing St. Albert’s youth with a mature, reliable mentor and role model, the program improves their potential to have a healthy, well-balanced, successful, fulfilling and happy youth.

Do you enjoy spending time with kids? Do you even wish you could be a kid again? Do you have a couple hours a week to play or to participate in fun activities and adventures? Do you want to give back to your community or gain valuable volunteer hours for school or your resume? Do you want your gift of time and friendship to truly make a difference?

Sidekicks Mentoring Program needs you! There are many St. Albert Children wishing and waiting for a mentor and friend, especially boys. Help us to grant their wish and end their wait! Growing up is hard to do. Having a caring friend and mentor makes life a little bit easier. Everyone can benefit from a great mentor.

Never underestimate the power of your time and friendship!
