Did someone recommend you to the program?

What else?

Prior to being matched with a Mentee, BCYMP will need to run a background check, motor vehicle report, and ensure all BCYMP trainings are completed. Each mentoring pair costs BCYMP approximately $1000 each year. Will you consider a donation to offset your Mentor onboarding costs?
For $20, we could order you a BCYMP Logo t-shirt. Would you like to purchase one? (Unfortunately, we don't have it in our budget to purchase t-shirts for all Mentors, but we have had the request for them, and don't want you to miss out if you want one!)
