Mentorship Program
The Kabangka Mentorship Program is a program dedicated for young Filipino/a/x-Canadians to connect with trailblazing leaders in their areas of interest, academia, or professional pursuits while building strong relationships and connections.
This year, participants in our Mentorship Program will be part of the first-ever cohort to access the new Mentor-Mentee resources and toolkit developed by Mentor Canada, made possible through the Mentoring as a Catalyst for Youth Employment pilot project.
Learn more about the project here.
The Kabangka Mentorship Program fosters meaningful relationships, allowing mentees to gain valuable insights, guidance, and support as they navigate their personal and career journeys. If you’re a Filipino/a/x youth aged 16-30 living in Canada, we encourage you to apply.
This program is exclusive to Kabangka members! Not a member yet? Hop on board and fill out the form: kabangka.org/membership
