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.

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.
