M2D Intergeneration mentorship program is designed to offer guidance and empower younger women and newcomers to rise in their personal, professional or entrepreneurial endeavors.

The constant coordination, guidance and follow-up will help women and newcomers strategize their path and envision their approach to the social and professional life in Canada. This program aims to support the social integration and empowerment of women and newcomers through peer support and peer networks. The peer support group will strengthen the mental and psychological well-being of each other by counseling and stress management through conversation and dialogues.
