Online Training
Make a Difference & Have Fun
Training to become a volunteer mentor has 2 components: 1) in-person training and 2) online training through AMP. Please try to complete the online training before your in-person training date.
The Alberta Mentoring Partnership (AMP) created an online training course to provide mentors with an overview of the core concepts of mentoring and what’s involved in mentoring a young person. This training takes approximately 45 minutes to complete. The course is intended to serve as an orientation to the world of mentoring. Participants learn what it means to be a mentor and will get an idea of how mentoring programs work. The course covers the basics of mentoring: the history of mentoring, what mentors actually do, what kind of support mentors can expect from your mentoring program and an introduction to the dynamics of the mentoring relationship.
