About This Opportunity

We are Rural eMentoring BC and we are looking for BC college/university students or recent grads to be volunteer mentors for our online mentoring program. ReMBC connects rural high school students to post-secondary students around BC.

 Time commitment: All communication is through our online platform. 

  • You can send messages whenever you want—as long as you respond to your mentee within 3 days.
  • Expect to send messages 2-3 times per week; it’s usually about a 1-3 hour commitment per week. 

What you’ll do: Answer questions and give advice about life after high school. 

Eligibility: You must be: 

  • A post secondary student: originally from BC, or studying at a BC post secondary school. OR within 5 years of finishing your college/university degree.
  • Reliable: Able to check eMentoring messages regularly and respond to your mentee's messages within 3 days. *You will be notified by email when you receive messages, so just make sure to check your email regularly
  • Available: Able to commit to eMentoring through the end of the high school year in June, or for the length of time prearranged with the eMentoring staff.
  • Passionate: about mentoring and inspiring rural youth. 

No experience required, we will train you! 

We hope you’ll join us!
