Ottawa, Canada Community Living Ontario - Student Links Full time

**Join Student Links as a Volunteer Mentor and Make a Difference**

Are you passionate about making a positive impact in the lives of young individuals? Do you have a shared interest or passion that you'd love to share with someone who could benefit from your guidance? If so, we invite you to become a Volunteer Mentor for the Student Links initiative

**Who Are We?**

Student Links is a community-based program that connects volunteers with young people aged 14-21. Our mission is simple: to enhance students' capacity to make informed decisions about their future and to support the natural development of relationships and connections to their community.

**What We Do**

At Student Links, we create opportunities for students to meet with people who are currently engaged in, or who have substantial knowledge of a shared or identified interest. As a Volunteer Mentor, you will have the chance to share your passion and expertise with a young person who is eager to learn and grow.

**Why Volunteer with Us?**
- **Make a Positive Impact**: Your mentorship can change a young person's life by helping them build confidence, develop skills, and explore their interests.
- **Personal Fulfillment**: Sharing your passion and expertise is not only rewarding but can also be personally fulfilling.
- **Enhance Your Own Skills**: Mentoring is a two-way street - you'll also learn valuable lessons and gain insights from your mentee.
- **Community Connection**: Strengthen the fabric of your community by building meaningful connections with its future leaders.

**Who Are We Looking For?**

We are looking for mentors (21+) from all walks of life with diverse interests and experiences. Whether you're into sports, arts, science, technology, astronomy or any other field, your unique knowledge and enthusiasm can have a profound impact on a student's life.

**How to Get Involved**

**Ready to Make a Difference?**

Join us at Student Links and help young individuals with intellectual disabilities or autism spectrum disorder realize their potential. Together, we can create a brighter future for them and our community.

**Get Involved Today**

We are reaching out to individuals like you who have diverse interests and talents and are willing to dedicate some of your time to become mentors. We believe that everyone has something valuable to offer, whether it's a passion for art, sports, science, music, astronomy, or any other area of expertise. Your knowledge, experience, and guidance can be the key that unlocks a world of possibilities for these young individuals.

Becoming a mentor is a fulfilling and enriching experience. You'll have the chance to make a real difference in the lives of these students, guiding them toward a brighter future. Our team will provide support and resources to ensure a successful and rewarding mentoring experience.

Thank you for considering this opportunity, and for your potential contribution to the success of the Student Links initiative. Together, we can make a positive change in our community and empower these students to thrive.

Sincerely,

Amy Dumont
