Our Mission

Our Programs

Every week, Trust 15 Youth Community Support Organization opens its doors to 120 youth in the community through our multiple after school drop-in programs. We provide a safe, nurturing space for these young people to discuss and find solutions for real life issues surrounding self-esteem, conflict-resolution, abuse, violence, peer pressure, and family life.

Our Impact

We connect youth with mentors, professionals, and community leaders who network with the group members, teaching them crucial tips for success and inspiring them to believe in themselves, their talents, and their futures. Trust 15 Youth Community Support Organization participants play an active role in developing our weekly programs. We also have new youth programs from Trust 15 Youth Community Support Organization, geared to support the development of young people in our community. This after-school program provides fun and educational activities, and also encourages healthy living through nutrition education and physical activity.

Our Approach

Our program works with community mentors, who volunteer their time to read to the youth and share their personal life experience. This program offers a safe, supportive environment for youth to express themselves and develop essential life skills. There is a focus on literacy and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) development through Robotics. The program is held twice a week for two hours each session.

Our Alumni & Partners Say

Trust15 member
“I used to wonder what my life would lead me to living in Etobicoke,” he admitted. “That’s no longer the case since I came to the Trust15 program. I am making full use of the mentors and my leadership skills have improved. I just feel so good about myself. In November I will be writing by Bar Exam.- If it wasn’t for Trust 15 where would I be?”
