Youth Peer & Outreach
The Youth Peer Program in Sydney
celebrated its 20 year in 2019.
In 2016, Outreach brought this award-winning model to three additional communities: Glace Bay, New Waterford and the Northside.
The program provides free, after-school tutoring & mentoring program for kids 8 - 18. High school or university students serve as volunteer tutor-mentors.
Parents PEACE
Since 2005, this facilitated parents group has been held one night a week with a focus on building healthier family relationships.
"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."
