The Mentorship Program is a 3-week summer student program for the youth of Sagamok that was developed to provide an opportunity for the youth to enhance their Anishinaabe culture awareness, cultivate mentorship competence and develop job readiness skills. The program focuses on empowering our youth with the knowledge and confidence to assume responsibility for cultural preservation, personal development, and employability. These are the principle foundations for the program with the expectation for the youth to adapt them into their daily lives and sustain for life.
