Mission Statement
Native Child and Family Services of Toronto (NCFST) strives to provide a life of quality, well-being, caring and healing for Toronto's Indigenous children, youth and families. We do this by creating a service model that is culture-based and respects the values of Indigenous peoples, the extended family and the right to self-determination.
About This Cause
Native Child and Family Services of Toronto (NCFST) is a multi-service urban Indigenous agency providing holistic, culture-based programs and services for Indigenous children and families. Established in 1986, by Elders, knowledge keepers, grassroots leaders, and community members, NCFST has been supporting Indigenous children and families in Toronto for more than three decades. In 2004, NCFST was directed by the Indigenous community to accept a child welfare mandate to decolonize Indigenous child welfare in the City of Toronto. NCFST continues to do this work through the integration of holistic, culturally-based prevention services that are child centred, family focused, and community driven. Guided by the vision of providing holistic, culture-based integrated services with the guidance of the Indigenous community, NCFST offers a full range of prevention programs, treatment and healing services, early years programs, youth programs, and cultural and recreational programs to all members of Toronto’s urban Indigenous community.
