1ST FOUR ARROWS YOUTH GROUP

1st Four Arrows Youth Group operates a youth mentoring program in Markham that pairs trained volunteers with young people facing social, emotional, or academic challenges. The organization focuses on building positive relationships and developing life skills through one-on-one mentoring, group activities, and community engagement. The program serves youth ages 6 to 18, with particular attention to those from low-income families or unstable home environments. By connecting mentors with participants over sustained periods, 1st Four Arrows helps young people develop confidence, resilience, and a stronger sense of direction. The group also offers workshops on topics like conflict resolution, goal-setting, and healthy relationships. Volunteers receive training to support effective mentoring, and the organization maintains regular contact with participants' families and schools to track progress and adjust support as needed.
