What our clients have to say: “The year has passed – the first of new beginnings, hope, curiosity and a new language. The JIAS LINC school is more than a school for learning English. It is also a place to learn about Canadian history and culture, a place for making friends, and an information service." “I was invited to join Youth-to-Youth. Talking with others who shared my background, mentality and past experiences was exhilarating. Our leaders helped us engage in meaningful conversations about our feelings about Canada. The program gave me the opportunity to be more engaged in the community and learn leadership skills" “Just to let you know I have joined a company two weeks ago as Infrastructure Team Lead, where I lead teams of engineers in Toronto and the US. Thanks for all the support, mentoring, dedication and much more during my journey. If I will have an open position or so, I will definitively would call you to see if you have any potential candidates”.

MusicBox recognizes the importance of a musical education in a child's development. Music has the capacity to transcend language, social and cultural borders and positively influence other areas of a child's development. MusicBox's music appreciation and individual-lesson programs run in low-income neighbourhoods in Canada, and in other institutions where children are disadvantaged, disabled, ill and therefore unable to partake in a music education. Any interested children of families in these sectors are qualified candidates for the MusicBox Children’s Charity. MusicBox also strives to provide a mentorship program between our volunteer teachers and our child partipants. We provide volunteer opportunities for high school and university students making this a youth-helping-youth initiative, and giving our youth confidence and responsibility. Our programs are administered by a national Board of Directors and regional Chapters run entirely by volunteers.

Halton Learning Foundation's objective is to raise charitable funds to remove economic barriers to learning for students in need and support school initiatives. As each has its own community, students and families, fundraising revenues generated within a school varies from school to school. In a number of communities, school council/parents are unable to raise any significant amount of money to help with additional purchases above and beyond core education funding. Funds raised by the Halton Learning Foundation are available to help schools that need additional assistance. Funds raised by the Foundation are directed to eliminating barriers to learning for students and classroom enrichment; not to administration or capital projects. The Halton Learning Foundation is incorporated as a registered charity and as an independent body collaborating with the Halton District School Board. The Halton District School Board has over 50,000 students and 95 schools in Halton Region.

The Children's Book Bank provides free books and literacy support to low- income children in the greater Toronto area from its storefront location in Regent Park. The Children’s Book Bank is like a magical children’s bookstore, except that books are given free of charge to children and their families. We believe that book ownership is essential to early literacy and a life-long love of reading. Unfortunately, studies show that many low-income families cannot afford to purchase books. At the same time, many families and organizations have quality children’s books that they no longer need. Our organization connects demand and supply to ensure that all children can experience the joy, dignity and enrichment associated with book ownership. Since opening in May 2008, we have provided over 450 000 free books to children in low-income Toronto neighborhoods. For more information, please visit our website at www.childrensbookbank.com.

The Leading Note Foundation OrKidstra program was created in 2007 to give children from under-served communities the opportunity to learn a musical instrument and sing in a choir. Now in its sixth year, the OrKidstra program has over 200 children from more than 30 different linguistic backgrounds. This success has been enabled by the phenomenal support of Ottawa's community. The many financial, instrument, and in-kind donations – as well as several amazing fund-raising concerts – have given us the confidence to move forward and offer this opportunity to many more children. The OrKidstra program is bringing so many parts of the community together. This helps to strengthen the bonds between like-minded organizations to create a musical force loud and harmonious enough to make a big difference!

Led by Artistic Director, Danielle Irvine, Perchance Theatre at Cupids (formerly known as New World Theatre Project) produces and presents classical theatre each summer in Cupids, Newfoundland and Labrador. A breathtaking community on Newfoundland’s east coast, Cupids was the first English colony in Canada, and turned 400 years old in 2010. Built as part of the Cupids 400 celebration, Perchance Theatre’s outdoor performance space was inspired by Shakespeare’s famous Globe Theatre in London, England. Perchance Theatre features some of the province’s best stage actors and captures stories reminiscent of John Guy’s England, particularly what the settlers might have seen, heard, or written about in 1610.

It's about learning, growing, inquiry & getting dirty. Young people connect with mentors & experts in the community to explore the food system from many different sides – production, distribution, access, culture, and sustainability.
