Youth Peer & Outreach
This award-winning program, based in Sydney, NS, has been improving people's lives by providing free, after-school tutoring & mentoring program for marginalized kids 8 - 18 since 1998. Outreach programs now reach six additional communities. High school or university students serve as volunteer tutor-mentors.
"The volunteers show them there is good in the world. They actually show them the good in themselves through positive reinforcement. They raise the bar for them, but not so far that they cannot reach it."
