Change-Makers Mentoring Program 

Neglected and abandoned children living in orphanages and those deprived of parental care lack role models in their lives. Sublimitas' Change-Makers mentoring program engages young Ukrainians to serve as role models and mentors for orphans. Mentors share their advice and insights about life issues, provide support in post-secondary educational preparation and pursuits, guide youth in their decision-making processes and challenges, and cultivate youth's necessary life skills (e.g. budgeting, time management, self-advocacy, self-care, academic/study skills, networking, among others) to help them succeed in their educational endeavors and adapt in mainstream society.

The mentoring program provides an opportunity for both mentors and mentees to create positive change in each other's lives. We identify, recruit, and provide continuous guidance to our mentors. Mentors commit to volunteering 8 hours per month (2 hours each week), meeting both in person and online. Currently, our Change-Makers mentoring program engages our Paving the Path to University alumni to serve as mentors to current Paving the Path to University students, sharing their experience and providing the much needed support while developing their leadership skills and giving back to the community. Our program manager supervises and provides guidance to our mentors and mentees on a weekly basis one-on-one and in group sessions. Follow our updates on our Instagram.
