Horizons
McGill University
On the initiative of three students (two from McGill University and one from the Université de Montréal), Projet Horizons's goal is to create ties between high school and elementary school students in areas targeted for participation in an individual tutor program. In an effort to provide additional attention and support to children with learning disabilities, thereby stimulating their desire to learn, Horizons succeeded in pairing 46 tutors from the Collège Jean-Eudes with an equal number of students from the Saint-Nom-de-Jésus elementary school. And 49 students from the Lower Canada College high school were matched with 59 students from the St. Ignatius of Loyola elementary school. Every week, the tutor-students take advantage of their involvement to increase their sense of responsibility, self-discipline and leadership by devoting an hour and a half of their free time to their protégés under the supervision of Horizon volunteers, who total eight at the moment and whose dynamism brings a share of humanism to the school life of all participating youngsters.
