About

Power to the Youth knows that our strength lies not only in the words we stand by but most importantly through the actions of our initiatives. Our inspiration to create this organization came through a simple walk in the streets of Toronto. Bewildered by the number of people who were looking for help, a simple act of kindness, by the others that only walked past, we could not stand to not do something about it. Being adolescents ourselves, we particularly empathized with the homeless youth, who not only face the struggles of homelessness, but also the struggles of learning who they are and growing up in the complex world. Through the creation of our nonprofit organization, we realized that by working together we could help youth overcome these challenges much more efficiently, and that is why we ultimately decided to launch Power to the Youth Toronto.
