About this service
Our Peer Mentorship project is designed to optimize the psychological, social, and educational outcomes of at-risk children and youth who have a family member that has been in conflict with the law by facilitating the development of leadership and mentorship skills, building positive peer relationships, increasing self-esteem and fostering academic success. Children and youth affected by familial criminality and imprisonment experience a traumatic abandonment by a fundamental role model that often results in compromised self-esteem, school truancy and decline in academic achievement, and the adoption of anti- social attitudes and delinquent behaviours which only elevates the risk of engaging in youth crime. Our project focuses on skill development and providing positive role models while reducing anti-social attitudes and behaviours to help empower at-risk children and youth in Toronto neighbourhoods to reduce the cycle of intergenerational crime.
Who can use it?
Children, (6-9), youth (10-14) teens (15-19) affected by familial criminality and imprisonment
