Program Details

Comrade Morpho is a 1-year mentoring program where I engaged 1-on-1 with mentees through intentional yet ordinary face-to-face quality time. We hang out up to 4 times each month to take part in mentee-centric activities. During our time together, I indirectly help to improve social and emotional wellness by offering genuine warmth, empathy, support, and encouragement, and through modeling healthy and happy habits.

The program is inspired by Big Brothers Big Sisters, informed by the research being conducted by Search Institute on Developmental Relationships, and fuelled by my genuine desire to help and natural ability to form meaningful connections.

What's Included:

Each month includes a minimum of 8 hours of quality 1-on-1 time, divided between a maximum of 4 hangouts

Mentees have access to me through text, chat, and email between hang outs to keep the relationship natural, casual and consistent

I do the driving! Some of the best bonding time happens in the car, so I'm happy do all of the pick-ups and drop-offs in and around Guelph

Proactive and clear communication when scheduling and planning get-togethers (with mentee and/or guardian if applicable)

A $100 a month activity budget (eg: admissions/supplies/meals etc)

Recitals, graduations, tournaments and/or birthday parties?! If there's an opportunity to celebrate a mentee, I'll be there!

A 30 minute discussion after 3 months, to check-in with the guardian and/or mentee, to discuss progress, share wins, and provide constructive feedback to improve the remainder of the match

A 1 hour meeting after 9 months with the guardian and/or mentee to share updates and discuss plans regarding the upcoming end of contract.

Additional Benefits:

I keep an open and flexible schedule to easily accommodate your schedule when making plans. This also allows me to be available when it feels urgent, plus it allows us to attend all kinds of events that are date and time specific.
The flexible hours also allow us to schedule around planned/unplanned time away or illnesses.
If the mentee will be away for longer than a 2-week period at any time during the contract, adjustments can be made for that month’s hours/hangouts and rates.
There are no last-minute cancellation penalties. I will always be understanding and happy to reschedule to another time, within the current month. But – I strongly encourage keeping plans when possible, it strengthens accountability and develops a sense of responsibility.
Any money remaining from the $100 activity budget at the end of the month will be carried over to the next month.
