Scotiabank Mentors Program
The FNMI Mentors Program is funded through a generous donation from Scotiabank and coordinated by the University of Lethbridge Dhillon School of Business Indigenous Governance and Business Management program office.
There are two types of mentoring opportunities available to you:
Youth mentorship
This program fosters a supportive relationship between a University of Lethbridge student mentor and two youth. Mentorship enables the participants to share common interests and spend time together in social activities such as games and sporting events, recreational activities such as swimming, bowling or the climbing wall, and powwows or other shared interests.
Alumni mentorship
If you are a current University of Lethbridge student, you may benefit from the wisdom and advice of University of Lethbridge Indigenous alumni. Alumni mentors are available to offer guidance and support throughout your university experience and help you build the confidence to reach your goals.
To get involved in the Scotiabank Mentors program, please contact dhillon.igbm@uleth.ca.
