OurMentors.
Our Mentors connects Indigenous youth across Canada with authors, musicians, and artists who share their creative practice, perspectives, and stories.
Creative guidance, available anytime.
Our Mentors brings Indigenous authors, musicians, and visual artists into participating schools through short, meaningful creative lessons. Young people can return to each lesson anytime, then put those ideas into practice in their own Story Warriors work.
Created with mentors. Each mentor brings their own creative practice and perspective to the program. Their 15-minute lessons and live sessions are created to spark curiosity, support classroom learning, and help young people trust their own voices.
Two ways to connect with young people.
Second Thursday · 1:00 p.m. Eastern.
Beginning in November. One mentor-led session each month, open to all participating schools. Mentors share a piece of their craft, talk about their creative work, and answer student questions.
- Designed with care. Each session is prepared with the mentor and program team. The format protects the mentor’s time, gives students a meaningful experience, and supports teachers with a usable recording afterward.
Meet our mentors.
Our mentor community is growing. New authors, musicians, and visual artists will be announced here as they join the program.
Help students discover what their own voices can do.
Participating schools can use the on-demand lessons whenever they fit the classroom, and join live sessions on the second Thursday of each month. Contact the program team to learn how your school can take part.
