What is AMFY?

Alberta Mentor Foundation for Youth (AMFY) is a not-for profit organization dedicated to assisting young people develop their full potential.

As a leader in the field of in-school mentoring, AMFY operates at the junior and senior high school levels in Calgary and the surrounding area where caring adult volunteers spend one hour a week, one-on-one with a student (protégé).

AMFY mentors are non-judgmental adults with a sincere desire to encourage and listen to a young person. Mentors come from a broad range of backgrounds and may be a business person, a professional, a homemaker, a tradesperson, a post-secondary student, or a senior citizen.

AMFY’s mentoring program is offered at no cost to Calgary and area schools. Funding comes primarily from private and corporate donations, and through limited government support.

High School Completion is Important 

Career choices for our youth are increasingly dependent upon education choices. Students who don’t finish school have limited options. Not only does the student lose, the community is deprived of the young person’s potential. Our community’s youth are our concern – their future is our future.

Meeting the Challenge

Mentoring is a low-cost, high-yield method of early intervention. It is low cost because of its reliance on volunteerism and community support, and high-yield because of the benefits of the one-on-one interaction and commitment. AMFY doesn’t wait for a crisis; rather it seeks to prevent a crisis. Mentoring responds directly to the needs of youth and is more likely to result in the success of youth in our community. Mentoring focuses on empowering youth in decision-making rather than deciding what youth need.
