We are a collective group of young changemakers dedicated to raising $5,000 per year in support of Food4Kids Muskoka.
The Peer Project began with a single, highly successful fundraiser for Food4Kids Muskoka. After raising an incredible $4,500 at one event, 10-year-old founder Jeremy was inspired to start a sustained "business" dedicated to the cause.
His family encouraged him to think bigger: instead of just a “business”, let's create a movement, a platform where kids help kids fight local food insecurity.
our mission & goal
The Peer Project is an initiative dedicated to raising a minimum of $5,000 every year in support of Food4Kids Muskoka.
More than fundraising, we are a platform that empowers youth creativity. Our mission is to encourage, support, and spotlight young people who use their own unique talents to make a difference in their community & support their fellow peers in a meaningful way.
kids helping kids
We believe that every great idea deserves a launchpad. The Peer Project is here to help any kid who wants to start their own fundraiser for Food4Kids Muskoka. We offer:
Marketing Support: Spreading the word through our website and social media.
Fundraising Tools: Providing checklists, basic supplies, and maybe even a little swag!
Guidance: Sharing tips and support to make every youth fundraiser successful.
