KEYS offers 3 different mentoring opportunities to fit the availability and interest of volunteer mentors and youth.

Quick Connect
Established professionals or mature post-secondary students help to expand a young person's exposure to the world of work by committing to one face-to-face meeting, facilitating a tour of their workplace and explaining the career path related to their field of work.
Group Mentoring Events
Presentations will serve to expose young people to the job market, occupation-specific information, career options, and tools for success. Mentors will connect with small groups of young people, with an adult-to-youth ratio no greater than one to four during 2-hour sessions. Click here to apply for any of the above opportunities.
