2023 Mentorship Program

University of Toronto Indigenous graduate students, together with a traditional Indigenous Elder/Knowledge Keeper, will deliver one workshop providing resources on Indigenous identity, culture and education for approximately 75 minutes.

The workshop presentation is intended for students in Grades 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 classes and is funded by the Ministry of Indigenous Education Office.

The focus of the program is to foster continual and positive role modeling for Indigenous and non-Indigenous youth and to provide resources on Indigenous identity, culture, and education.
