Our Unwavering Commitment to York Region

Our primary mission is clear and profound: to enhance the lives of York Region’s youth and actively work towards preventing homelessness. We believe that lasting change can only be achieved by addressing the root causes of homelessness and providing holistic support.  Our approach revolves around four essential pillars: housing, employment, education, and well-being. Each of these pillars forms the foundation of our commitment to empowering individuals to rebuild their lives.

Excellence in Financial Transparency

Our 5-star rating for financial transparency is a testament to our unwavering commitment to accountability and efficiency. An impressive 89 cents of every dollar goes directly to fund our programs and services, guaranteeing that our resources are focused where they make the most significant impact – into the lives of the youth and communities in need.

Recognition and Awards

We are immensely proud to have been recognized as one of Canada’s Top 100 Charities. However, it’s not just a recognition of statistics; it’s an acknowledgment of the lives transformed, the communities uplifted, and the hope restored by our collective efforts.

Our work goes far beyond numbers and data. It’s about nurturing dreams, providing a helping hand, and opening doors that were once closed. By addressing the fundamental aspects of housing, employment, education, and well-being, we don’t just prevent homelessness; we unleash potential and create bright, promising futures. Our story is a shining example of what can be achieved through dedication, innovation, and an unwavering belief in the power of community.
