About  the  Peer  Project  
The Peer Project is a non-profit charitable organization that provides a unique peer mentoring
service to improve the life prospects of at-risk and newcomer children in the GTA. They match
children ages 6-15 with trained and dedicated Youth Volunteer Mentors ages 16-29, who act as
positive role models. The Peer Project has over 1,400 active mentors/mentees but still has a
waiting list of 400 kids and a great need for more male volunteers.
