Video Editor Volunteer (Mini Documentary Project)

Organization Details
Organization Name: Youth Empowering Parents
Address: 82 Richmond Street
Toronto ON  M5C 1P1
Website: http://www.yepeducation.com/
Organizational Description: Our organization is a United Nations award-winning charity and our mission is to turn young people from 'educated' to 'educator.'

We take the talents of young people and turn them into one-on-one tutors for other adults and seniors in their communities. For example, imagine a 15 year old teaching a 50 year old how to use Zoom to communicate with their family in another country, or a 16 year old teaching an adult who is new to Canada some basic English skills.
