"My son always felt different than other people his age and was picked on relentlessly in school. With this program, he benefits from the social aspect more than you can know. He gets attention and young people actually talk to him and make him feel respected and accepted within a group. His self-esteem is improving and he's always smiling when he gets home from tutoring." - mother of son, age 13

This program "helped me develop a lot of patience for other relationships I have in my life with my mom, brothers, niece (10 years old) etc." - Youth Peer Volunteer Tutor

"Some children need to get away to learn. The environment at Youth Peer is so open minded to children's needs that they grow and actually want to continue learning because they are complimented and encouraged on an individual basis. The one-on-one makes them feel important and they are greeted warmly and feel they are missed if they do not attend." - CB Victoria Regional School Board

"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." - Nova Scotia Addiction Services

Question to Tutor: Would you like to come back in September? If so, why? Answer: Yes, to help kids! It feels great when a kid learns something because of you.
