Walking alongside our youth

Our young people deserve better, and together we can give it to them. I mentor youth myself, and I'm building a circle of mentors from across our communities and industries.

Why this matters to me

Every young person needs someone in their corner

I've always had a passion for working with youth and being a voice for them. I raised my four children here in Terrace, and I've watched how much it matters when a young person knows someone believes in them.

Big changes are coming to our region. I want our youth to be ready for them, proud of who they are, and leading the way.

You don't need to have it all figured out to be a mentor. You just need to show up and listen.
