Peer Mentorship Program
The Meraki Mentorship Program was created to help students and establish equity in society. It hopes to see the next generation as one that is filled with diversity. The mentorship program is the first step towards this goal. This program was designed to provide support to children with learning disabilities, children from minority groups, and children from immigrant families. The program aims to provide students with a safe environment where they can comfortably learn, play alongside their peers and our enthusiastic volunteers.
