Who
We Are
Through
collaboration, the Calgary Youth Mentoring Coalition promotes, supports
and provides leadership in mentoring for all young people as a way
of strengthening the community.
History
The Calgary Youth Mentoring Coalition was founded in 1995 when six
agencies involved in youth mentoring came together in an informal
setting. This group explored the potential benefits of collaborating
together. The outcome of these initial talks led to the decision
that cooperation and the sharing of best practices could only benefit
those involved and interested in mentoring.
The coalition
has since grown in membership, purpose and goals. Through visioning
and planning sessions, the coalition has developed a strategic plan
to support, promote and encourage mentoring in Calgary and area.

6. Continuous Learning
