Youth Assisting Youth

Youth Assisting Youth is charity dedicated to investing in the leaders of tomorrow and transforming the lives of at-risk and newcomer youth through the power of peer mentorship. For over 40 years, it has paired volunteer young adult mentors aged 16-29, with youth ages 6-15 to engage in activities aimed to develop mind, body, character, and leadership skills. Our non-profit connects volunteers to enriched mentorship experiences that profoundly impact the most vulnerable youth and their families in communities across the Greater Toronto and York Region. Toronto Foundation selected us as one of their top high-impact charities and non-profit organizations.
