Learning Community
Our Learning Community Program steps past traditional mentoring and introduces different levels of connection to the entire cohort of mentors and students. This program follows the Academic Year (October – June) and meets on the same day of the week - typically Tuesday - for a duration of eight months. Mentors dedicate 2-3 hours each week for activities, and the Learning Community remains together for the duration of the year. Weekly activities rotate between:
Student-mentor workshops, also known as Community Workshops
One-on-one activity between a mentor and student match
Small group activity of three to four matches (Family Groups)
Mentor-only workshops
Being part of a Learning Community gives a mentor an opportunity to not only work with the same student for the entire year, but also mentor other students in the community, and work together with fellow mentors to create a supportive network.
This year’s Learning Community kicks off in October. The deadline for mentors to apply to this program is September 30, and the deadline for students is October 13.
Our Learning Community is our core and most highly recommended program! We strongly encourage students and mentors to join our Learning Community for increased connection with a large and diverse group of participants.
However, for students and mentors seeking a more flexible option, we offer our introductory program, CfY Duos. You can learn more about this introductory program by clicking here.
