Mentorship

One-on-One Guidance That Lasts

Our mentorship program pairs young participants with trained adult mentors who provide consistent support, encouragement, and practical guidance. Mentors work with participants over a minimum six-month period, meeting weekly to work on goal setting, skill development, and personal growth. Each match is carefully curated based on shared interests, personality fit, and development needs.

Mentors receive comprehensive training and ongoing support from our program coordinators. We track progress through regular check-ins and milestone assessments to ensure every mentorship relationship is productive and positive.

Workshops

Hands-On Skill Building

Our workshop series covers essential life and career skills including communication, financial literacy, digital literacy, resume writing, interview preparation, and leadership fundamentals. Workshops are delivered in small groups of 8 to 12 participants to ensure meaningful interaction and personalized attention. Each workshop combines theory with practical exercises that participants can immediately apply.

Workshops are offered at our La Prairie facility and in partnership with local schools and community centers across the Montreal South Shore region. Custom workshops can be developed for specific groups or organizations upon request.

Community

Connecting Youth to Their Community

HDB Youth organizes community engagement projects that connect participants with local volunteer opportunities, civic initiatives, and neighborhood improvement activities. Through these projects, young people develop a sense of civic responsibility, build professional networks, and gain real-world experience that enhances their resumes and post-secondary applications.

Recent projects include community garden development, senior outreach programs, environmental clean-up campaigns, and youth leadership summits. Participants log volunteer hours and receive certificates of recognition for their contributions.
