No. Oya Group is a free program for accepted participants. However, families who would like to support our work are always welcome to donate. Because services are offered at no cost, space is limited and highly valued. We ask all participants to follow our attendance guidelines to ensure active engagement and to allow opportunities for others who are waiting to join.

Sessions are typically held on Wednesdays after school, or the weekends at a community location in the Vancouver area. Accepted families will receive a full details and their specific schedule.

Sessions may include workshops, group discussions, field trips, wellness activities, creative arts, community service, and more—all designed to support personal development and sisterhood

All mentors are carefully screened, background checked, and trained to ensure the safety and well-being of our participants.

Yes! We offer opportunities for parents to engage through family events, workshops, and volunteer support. All volunteers must pass a background check to participate in events that will include other children that are not their own.

A: We do not have a set length of time for participation. Oya Group operates in seasonal cycles (Fall, Winter, Spring, Summer), and participants are welcome to remain involved as long as they continue to benefit from the program. However, we ask all participants to complete a seasonal interest or continuation form so we can manage space, plan accordingly, and ensure active engagement.

We’re always excited to welcome new volunteers and supporters. If you're interested in becoming a mentor, assisting with events, or making a donation, please contact us by email or phone. Your support helps us expand our reach and continue empowering young girls through mentorship
