Benefits of Mentoring
What will my son benefit from the Rising Sun's Mentor Program? Dear parents and guardians, the big question is what will your son's, nephews and young men benefit from the Rising Sun's Program. Our program is culturally appropriate and focuses on Black excellence, heritage and history. We focus on the "whole development of each mentee". Our mentors are professional Black men from our communities, who serve in different careers. Our program focuses on empowering our young boys and young men, as mentees meet with their mentors on a monthly basis. Connecting Black youth to Black male role models in the community is critical to the development of our boys and young men. Through the program your son's, nephews will enhance their communication skills, life-skills, engage in personal development, network in peer groups, connect with professional Black men in the community. Your son's and nephews will also learn more about the contributions Black people have made to Canada and globally. The program focuses on school-based preparatory experiences, career and entrepreneurship development, leaderships development, and connecting activities. We ensure that all programs and services are also delivered by Black, African and Caribbean professionals from our communities. All programs and services are designed based on your son's individual strengths and needs, as we focus on Black excellence.
