Mentoring has proven transformative to children and youth. The Stay-in-School (SIS) program pairs students with mentors from grade 5/6 through grade 12, focusing on long-term relationships that promote academic and personal success. Mentors commit to at least two years, with monthly meaningful interactions encouraged. Activities like sports, visiting museums, etc. are supported through program funding. SIS also provides tutoring, annual honorariums, and host biannual Mentor Summits for shared learning and Support. Please email stayinschool@rotaryclubofcalgary.ca to receive a mentor application form
