The Youth Peer Volunteer tutor-mentors are all high school, college, or university students who come to the centre one or more days a week for two hours after school. They are matched with one student for the year and the relationship that forms between them is the basis for the progress we see in academic and social growth for our participants—and for the success of the program. As well, the volunteers take away many benefits from their time with these kids. Including Outreach and Online, an estimated 3200 hours of volunteer time happens every school year.
