why you should support pink shirt day

All money raised from the selling of shirts and bracelets, pink items, and our online auction will be used to support pro-active mentoring programs that serve children in Prince George and Northern BC. These programs take many forms from 1:1 at school, in the community, or in a virtual setting as well as skill based group programs.

A mentor is an adult who is matched with a child with similar hobbies and interests. They provide a unique opportunity to help to foster individuality in their mentee by providing them with a safe space to be themselves and have new experiences. Mentoring relationships are built on trust and respect. Mentors can help children who are struggling with bullying by helping their mentee find constructive and non-violent ways to cope with their peers, handle stress, and deal with conflict. By modeling kindness and empathy, children may be better equipped to recognize and seek healthy relationships.
