Join Student Links as a Volunteer Mentor and Make a Lasting Impact!
Are you passionate about supporting youth and sharing your skills or life experience? Student Links is looking for caring, committed individuals to become volunteer mentors for high school students (ages 14–21) with intellectual disabilities or autism.
This is your chance to give back, connect with a young person, and help shape a brighter future—just by being you.

Student Links is a community-based initiative from Community Living Ontario. We connect youth with intellectual disabilities or autism to mentors in their community to help them explore interests, build skills, and foster meaningful relationships.

- Build a one-on-one relationship with a student who shares your interests
- Offer guidance, encouragement, and insight as they explore their goals
- Meet weekly (virtually or in-person) at a time that works for you
Why Volunteer?
- Make a Difference – Empower youth by boosting their confidence and exposing them to new opportunities
- Grow Personally – Learn new perspectives and deepen your sense of purpose
- Flexible Commitment – Just one hour per week, scheduled around your availability
- Strengthen Your Community – Help shape an inclusive future for all
Who We’re Looking For:
We welcome mentors from all walks of life! Whether you’re into music, mechanics, coding, baking, business—or anything in between—your passion can inspire a student to dream big.
You must:
- Be 21 years of age or older
