Alan Wiebe is currently the Community Outreach Mentorship Coordinator at The University of Â鶹´«Ã½. He has worked in many capacities helping to develop programming for “at-risk” youth in Manitoba and has served in the public school system as a regular classroom teacher, alternative program director, and counsellor.

Wiebe — who teaches courses such as Education Today, Issues with At-Risk Children and Youth, and Mentoring At-Risk Youth — has done many presentations on the international stage, including major sessions in Rijeka, Croatia; Jerusalem, Nairobi; and Ulm, Germany.

Wiebe has written and co-edited articles, chapters, and books emphasizing the power of reaching out to vulnerable populations through mentorship, and is lead author of a recent publication entitled Connecting with At-Risk Children and Youth through Mentoring: Ten Elements to Consider.
