Youth Assisting Youth
Nominator Comments:
The commitment and success of the Youth Assisting Youth Program team through 2009 and 2010 has been both inspiring and commendable. In the face of funding cuts, financial instability and job insecurity, each member of the Program Team has demonstrated true dedication to teamwork and quality client care. The teams approach has resulted in record highs with regards to the number of clients matched with a mentor, number of clients served and number of service applications received. This is reflected in the 40 percent increase in total number of service applications received in this year.
