PRISM (Pride, Respect, Identity, Safety, Mentoring)

PRISM is a mentoring program designed specifically for the 2SLGBTQ+ community in Edmonton.

The PRISM program matches children and youth who identify as 2SLGBTQ+ with an adult mentor who also identifies as 2SLGBTQ+ for a 1:1 mentoring relationship. Through regular outings, the match will foster a supportive, empowering, and fun friendship!

The purpose of a PRISM match is to:

• Provide role models for 2SLGBTQ+ children and youth
• Foster pride and self-confidence
• Create connections within Edmonton’s 2SLGBTQ+ community
• Offer 2SLGBTQ+ children and youth a safe adult mentor to have conversations with, provide support and celebrate who they are
• and above all, have fun!

To participate in PRISM:

• Mentees self identify as 2SLGBTQ+, are between 6-24 years old, and want a mentor who identifies as 2SLGBTQ+
• Mentors self identify as 2SLGBTQ+, are a minimum of 18 years old, and want to be matched with a mentee who identifies as 2SLGBTQ+
• Time commitment of 1 year
