They match children who might speak English as a second language with mentors aged 16-29. Their mentors act as role models to them which might include: taking them out to sporting events, playing basketball with them, and shopping and helping with school work etc. The peer project takes time to match children with the right role model to make them feel most comfortable and accepted. Both children and mentors can learn lots of life lessons from this experience.]]> 2017-12-07 04:11:16 UTC https://padlet.com/nolan_bell2/izyf8inay75f/wish/213977475 nolan_bell2 https://padlet.com/nolan_bell2/izyf8inay75f/wish/213978028 Upcoming events for the mentors to do with the kids include movie screenings, youth basketball, and Christmas parties.
