The C.R.E.S.T. and G.I.P. Initiatives

The 'Brilliant Minds Thriving' Tutoring program provides students with:

• One-on-one academic support via Zoom and Google Meets, giving students individual attention, allowing them to follow their learning plan, learn at their own pace, and focus on any areas of difficulty. 
• Effective study and time management techniques to further aid them in their educational goals. 
• Help with school-assigned homework and projects so they don’t fall behind.

The Achievement In Motion (A.I.M) Mentorship Program is culturally focused and deals with anti-Black and anti-Indigenous racism materials and was created to support individuals that identify as a member of the Black and/or Indigenous community.

Mentor Participation

In terms of time commitment:

1. Mentor participation in the program is from late September to mid-April. The amount of time you commit to the mentorship program is to be determined by you and your mentee; however, we suggest that you connect with your mentees at least once a month through the medium of your choosing (in person, over e-mail, or through Zoom or Google Meets).   
2. Secondly, mentors are to participate in two 2-hour program orientation and evaluation sessions virtually (one in October, and one in April - a total of 4 hours).   The dates for the program orientation and evaluation sessions will be outlined closer to the start of the program.

Mentee Participation

In terms of time commitment: 

1. Mentee participation in the program is from late September to mid-April. The amount of time you commit to meeting with your mentor is to be determined between you and your mentor; however,  we suggest that you connect with your mentor at least once a month through the medium of your choosing (in person, over e-mail, or through Zoom or Google Meets).   
2. Secondly, mentees are to participate in biweekly group mentoring sessions
