I recently joined the Board of Directors for the Peer Project, Youth Assisting Youth. Today, many youths struggle with a wide variety of issues due to their socioeconomic situation, substance abuse and/or mental illness.
The Peer Project recruits and trains outstanding youth volunteers to be leaders, role models and effective mentors to at-risk and newcomer kids across Toronto. Mentors spend 3 hours per week with their mentee for a minimum of 1 year, providing consistent guidance and specialized support to help them overcome barriers and succeed!
Our annual event is a Spin-A-Thon. Supporting the 7th Annual Spin-a-Thon is an incredible way to help shape the future leaders of tomorrow, by investing in youth today! What I particuarly like about this event is that 100% of the dollars raised goes directly to supporting youth.
Please consider joining me at the event or make a donation to help me reach my goal.
Thanks.
