The seeds for the Moms and Mentors program started from a parenting class that a Public Health Nurse facilitated at Belmont Secondary School in Langford B.C. Working in collaboration with the Knights of Columbus, with the Sooke School Board, principals, teachers, counsellors and parents, they established a day care on site at Belmont school.
Following graduation, two young moms and the PHN moved the class from the school into the community. They sought out locations for their meetings, recruited mentors, and invited people to get involved.
They invited people to participate in mentor training events; collaborated with other service providers, and started a scholarship program.
Advocating for others, they also reached out to other communities, i.e. Sooke and Victoria at the Single Parent Resource Centre to start their own moms and mentors program.
Moms and Mentors now has 29 years as a community based volunteer support network.
Scholarship Opportunities
Moms and Mentor's scholarship program is supported by the West Shore Rotary, Lions and PEO and by others. As one mom stated, "it has made a tremendous difference. I would not be where I am without Moms & Mentors. Being a single mom and working full time, it helped me in building my future career as a nurse.
