Details
The Canadian Research for Mentoring Centre’s Research Connection Day is the first event of its kind and a wonderful opportunity to bring together researchers from across Canada with a common interest in mentoring research.

Our hope is for the day’s activities to foster new connections for future research projects, partnerships and/or grants.  

We will start the day by sharing our findings from a recent scan of youth mentoring research from across Canada, have a networking lunch to build community, and host facilitated small group discussions pertaining to current themes identified in the literature, and future directions/opportunities for mentoring research and practice.

Themes

The current identified themes are as follows: 

  • Mentoring Indigenous Youth 

  • Mentoring for Black Youth 

  • Mentoring for Youth in Sports 

  • School-Based Mentoring 

  • Youth-Initiated Mentoring 

  • Mentoring Newcomer Youth 

  • Mentoring for Youth with Disabilities  

  • Development and Evaluation of Mentorship Programs  

 

We will be using these theme-based small group discussions to identify areas for collaboration, and development of future team projects with a real possibility of shaping Canadian mentoring research and practice for the next 5-10 years.
