The goal of the program is to connect young scientists with the world of professional science and engineering - to help them learn more about how science really works and what scientists do. 

A mentorship can involve:

• helping with science fair projects, ideas or problems;
• providing laboratory training and experience;
• giving advice through an on-line mentorship--sharing their stories,
• passion and experiences to inspire and to challenge you to achieve new goals; and,
• exploring science career and education options.

An invitation to apply has already been sent to over 1000 past CWSF finalists who are still in grades 8-12, but this information is available for any young scientists who would be interested in participating in the mentorship program.

Students will need to create a brief (1-2 page) resumé and send it by email to YSF Canada at mentors@ysf-fsj.ca. Once YSF receives their resumé, they will begin to match you with an appropriate mentor. The resumé should include key information such as:

• name, contact information, level of study and school;

• science project experience;

• academic and non-academic awards/accomplishments;

• a description of their scientific interests; and,

• information about why they would like a mentor.
