In 2016, CultureLink launched the Student Education Attainment Program (SEAP) – a mentorship program designed to help students of Somali descent with credit accumulation and educational attainment. Over the past 5 months, we have been busy recruiting and training mentors, organizing community information sessions, meeting with the community partners and registering students.
This past December, we were ready to start matching students
with their mentors. 20 Students, their
parents and 15 mentors were invited to one of three Mentor-Mentee Match Nights. With delicious food and icebreaker activities
planned, mentors, mentees and their parents had an opportunity to meet and get
to know each other, learn more about the program and what to expect in the
coming months. You could see the
excitement in their eyes as students and mentors sat together and began talking
about their goals and expectations for the program. If you are interested in learning more about
SEAP and how to register, please contact Alasis Mohamed at amohamed@culturelink.ca or at
647-641-8162. If you are interested in becoming a SEAP mentor, please visit
