Capturing the Mentoring Landscape
Mentor Canada also conducted a sector survey to understand the prevalence, practices and scope of mentoring programs in Canada.
Mapping the Mentoring Gap
Mentor Canada also conducted the first pan-Canadian study exploring young people’s access to caring, supportive people – or mentors – when they were aged 6-18, and whether such relationships influenced different parts of their lives. The goal of the survey was to understand whether youth mentoring needs are being met.
