From the Paper:

"The Project Y.O.U Advisory Committee will provide service to 20 youth ages 13 to 20 years in the Jane/ Finch neighborhood. The project will train youth as peer mentors in designing and delivering drug awareness workshops to middle school students and to train youth in job readiness. The project will also facilitate youth co-op partnership with local businesses for placement and a summer camp component to service children and youth ages 5 to 15 years old. The project outcome is to enhance youth self-esteem, leadership skills and community cohesion
Being a nurse in this community means having a large number of opportunities to make a difference and to serve different groups, but it also requires learning how to serve the needs of the different groups and how to communicate with people with different ethnic background and perhaps different first languages."
