Bamboo Shield is actively looking for caring adults to serve as mentors for teens in the program.  We are looking for individuals who understand the refugee/immigrant or Aboriginal experience and can identify with the challenges facing today's teens.

As a Bamboo Shield mentor, you may be asked to:

• Spend time with an individual youth or small groups of teens, doing everyday activities related to school, homework, sports, recreation and social outings.
  
• Share your own experiences and show how positive relationships and understanding can lead to healthy choices.
  
• Coach and support other helping adults with your insights and knowledge about cultural and racial understanding.
  
• Help identify ways to support the youth(s) you are mentoring.
