🌟 It’s National Volunteer Week! 🌟
This week—and every week—we’re celebrating the incredible youth mentors who make a difference in the lives of children across the GTA. 💛

To our volunteer mentors: thank you for showing up, for listening, and for being role models our youth can count on. Your kindness, commitment, and time are shaping brighter futures.

During National Volunteer Week, we honor YOU—the heart of our community and the reason so many young people feel supported, empowered, and inspired.

From all of us at Youth Assisting Youth—thank you for everything you do. 🙌
