AMP provides access to mentoring resources, toolkits, training materials, and research to help school and agency partners deliver excellent mentorship programming.

AMP is co-led by the Government of Alberta (Children’s Services and Education) and Boys & Girls Clubs Big Brothers Big Sisters (BGCBigs) of Edmonton and Area.

Created in 2008, the partnership now consists of 225+ school and agency members, including government ministries, government-funded organizations, community youth-serving agencies, schools and school authorities, faith organizations, and service clubs.

Together we work to: 

• • Help young people achieve success in school and develop job-ready skills
  • Increase awareness of the importance of mentoring
  • Attract mentors
  • Reduce barriers to potential mentors becoming involved
  • Build capacity of small mentoring programs to operate efficiently and effectively
  • Develop and deliver province-wide high quality mentoring resources 
  • Increase mentoring opportunities for priority youth populations (Indigenous, immigrant and refugee, youth in care, youth in rural/remote communities)
  • Grow opportunities for mentors to give back to their community through volunteering and corporate mentoring partnerships
  • Expand awareness of the benefits of both formal and informal methods of mentoring
  • Validate the importance of Natural Supports in creating vibrant, healthy communities
