The Vietnamese Youth Action Committee of the Vietnamese Canadian Federation (in collaboration with V3) is seeking for potential participant to participate in a national wide Mentorship Network Project 2012.

We are looking for Vietnamese origin individuals who are interested and passionate in community work, volunteerism, leadership development and youth empowerment to be part of the mentorship network that will be implemented in 5 cities (Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal, Toronto and Ottawa) across Canada. The objectives of this project are to pair up 60 mentees with 60 mentors across Canada and to create a national wide peer-to-peer and intergenerational mentorship network. From now till end of December 2011, the program is taking registration for anyone who’s interested in becoming a mentor or mentee. (For online registration, please click www.vietfederation.ca/mentorship.html)

Potential participant can register under one of the following categories:

1. Mentee: Vietnamese-Canadian youths from ages of 12 – 25 who would be interested in having a mentor enrich their life socially or professionally.
2. Peer Mentor: Vietnamese youth 18+ who are currently in post-secondary school looking for volunteer work and opportunity for leadership development to mentor and to inspire other youth of their generation.
3. Inter-generational Mentor: Vietnamese professional with 2+ years of work experience in any discipline looking to contribute back to the community and to inspire Vietnamese-Canadian youth

Deadline for registration is December 4^th, 2011 and in early January 2012, participant will be matched with a mentee or a mentor. Once the selection and matching processes are completed, mentees and mentors are expected to commit to a 3 months mentorship program which will take place in February 2012.
