What people are saying

To say you helped me find my path is an understatement. You helped me find acceptance, you helped me find family and, Phoenix, you help me to find myself.

Testimonials

"One staff member, Jonette, used to point out my good marks. She told me, ‘With these marks, you can do anything.’ That showed me that I had options and it was so good for my self-esteem. People who work with youth should know that nothing goes in vain – it may seem like the lessons aren’t sinking in, but they are."SonyaFormer Phoenix Youth

"The Mulgrave Park Peer Tutoring program really does have all the Phoenix goodness wrapped up in a tight little bundle. When I walk through the door...I walk into a warm, happy, welcoming, fun community space...I leave literally every single time with a better feeling about the world and the youth of my neighbourhood. It really is a wonderful place." testimonial 188
