Excited to be Here!

Throughout the years of working with beat the streets I have learned valuable information, skills and advice from the mentors, Jessica and Neal. I am beyond grateful to be part of the Beat The Streets Toronto Canada Summer Jobs team once again. BTST is a charity that seeks fun and unique ways to help children and youth further develop their social-emotional, physical literacy and employability skills. From my personal experience, they have done a great job at meeting these goals and expectations. I have been involved with BTST since 2016 when they held evening wrestling practices at my high school.
