M.A.P. Program

The M.A.P. (My Action Plan to Education) is a program aimed at helping youth to continue on to the road to success in school. M.A.P is based on four guiding principles. These four main pillars of support include: Academic, Social, Financial and Advocacy supports for each youth. A student's MAP is developed to meet the needs of that individual youth, and involves the commitment of the youth, his or her parents as well as other partners who will help provide the youth with the best possible opportunities for success. Students will enter into the program in three phases, depending on what grade they are in.

The JUNIOR phase is aimed at students in Grade 4 to 8, and focuses on building basic skills, keeping students motivated and interested in school, as well as addressing individual needs of students for wrap-around support.

The SENIOR phase is aimed at students in Grade 9 to 12. Students will work with staff and volunteers to map out their academic, career and financial maps for the future.Building on the communication stream established in the Junior phase, students will continue to develop life and leadership skills as well as participate in regular mentoring and tutoring sessions.

The EXCELLENCE phase focuses on those students who are working to complete Grade 12 and are preparing for or are in post-secondary education programs (including university, college, trade school, apprentice training or preparing for fulltime employment).

There are a number of incentives for the students participating in the M.A.P program at each phase. These incentives include life skills development, academic and career counselling, financial incentives and partnership building through mentorship and tutoring. Financial incentives are subject to available funding. Staff, volunteer mentors and tutors work with youth to meet the program expectations and outcomes.
