About This Cause

Tropicana Community Services Organization was founded in 1980 as a non-profit community organization to serve disadvantaged youth and their families, particularly those from the Caribbean. The first major project implemented was counselling services aimed at teenaged dropouts in a high need area of Scarborough, Ontario. In 1984, Tropicana established formal links with the United Way of Greater Toronto and was the first organization from the Black and Caribbean community to become a United Way member-agency. Today Tropicana is a growing service-delivery agency with programs designed to address issues affecting all youth, newcomers, members of the Caribbean, African, and Black communities and others in need. Current services include counselling, employment, education, day cares, social/recreational and life skills development.
