Guides & Volunteers

Your skill. Their next favourite afternoon.

Find your way in

Retirees, students, parents, tradespeople, and neighbours all have something to share, whether it's a skill, a story, an idea, or a little time.

Kids' worlds get bigger when they meet people who know, make, build, move, create, and see things differently. A retired carpenter. A high schooler who loves working with little kids. A grandparent who quilts. A neighbour who can cook.

That's what makes Hexagon different. It's a place for the community to make. move. meet.

Who we're looking for

Is this you?

๐Ÿง“
Retirees

Spent a career, or a lifetime, getting good at something? Here's a group of kids who'd love to learn it from you.

What you get

A reason to get out of the house, kids who actually want to hear what you know, and a kind of purpose a resume never captures.

๐ŸŽ’
High schoolers

Need community service hours? Spend them somewhere that actually feels good.

What you get

Hours toward your diploma, a reference when you need one, and real experience if you're thinking about teaching, coaching, or working with kids later.

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ
Local Tradespeople

Carpenter, baker, mechanic, gardener? Kids don't get enough exposure to real trades. Show them yours.

What you get

An easy way to give back, and a room of future neighbours who'll remember who taught them.

๐Ÿ‘ช
Parents

Have a skill and an hour to spare? Join us

What you get

A front-row seat to your own kid's world, a chance to meet other Hexagon families, and no pressure to commit beyond what works for you.

๐ŸŽ“
College and University Students 

Studying education, sports, or the arts? We are excited to learn with you. 

What you get

Hands-on hours for your program, a reference, and a room of kids that will give you real feedback.  

๐Ÿ˜๏ธ
Local organizations

Run a farm, a studio, a shop, a maker space program? Send someone for an afternoon session or we can visit your location for an experience.

What you get

A new audience, your name on our program, and a real partnership, not a sponsorship logo.

Ms. Amrin and Ms. Fareen, the educators, are in the room for every single session.
Guide-led or volunteer. You take the lead. We support.
