As Toronto continues to grow, so does the income gap. Caught in that gap are underserved populations in the city, like youth, newcomers and people who live in racialized communities. Grassroots organizations spring to life to help people like these who are in danger of falling through the cracks, much like how the Trustee Hub came to be. Leveraging mentorship, as well as fundraising and administrative resources of The Neighbourhood Group Community Services, the Hub empowers these grassroots groups to tackle the pressing issues within their communities. Together, we strive to improve the lives of people in our neighbourhoods, and strengthen the communities themselves.
Trustee Spotlight: Mental Health Matters
Mental Health Matters truly follows its mandate to improve the mental health and well-being of marginalized youth in Regent Park. Led by youth for youth, this initiative offers free mental health services that help young people cope with the traumas and issues they face growing up in the city. By working with Mental Health Matters, youth better understand their behaviour, learn strategies to help them cope, and increase their sense of self-worth, all while reducing stigma and fostering community resilience.
