Mission Statement
Supporting youth in York South-Weston as they prepare for the future with the resources and mentorship they need to thrive
About This Cause
Every young person’s journey is unique and their needs are too. For Youth Initiative has developed a deep understanding around how to best support these needs for the diverse populations of young people in the York South-Weston area. We support Black, racialized, and newcomer youth with responsive and inclusive programs and services that meet individuals where they are and help them navigate the barriers to reaching their highest potential. Wielding a person-centred approach, we build life-long relationships with our community of young people and are committed to acknowledging and understanding their unique experiences and stories. The For Youth Initiative Model focuses on a young person as an individual, meeting them where they are and supporting them to get to where they want to be. Our programs are designed to support individual youth to identify and reach their personal goals, graduate high school, enroll in post-secondary education, gain employment and achieve independence. To reach these milestones we provide support via mentorship and resources in six key areas: Educational attainment, workforce readiness, civic leadership, youth justice, newcomer settlement, and advocacy. Youth ages 12 to 29 can access these opportunities whether they are in or out of school, working or not.
