WHO WE ARE

We are a dynamic collective of high school students from the vibrant Lorne Park area, united by an unwavering commitment to effectuating positive change in our society. Our ardour for serving others and empowering others fuels our endeavours. Collaboratively, we engage in various initiatives and outreach programs to extend meaningful support to the less fortunate within our community. We aspire to foster inclusivity and a brighter future for all.

OUR MISSION

At Youth Volunteers, we are driven by a clear and ambitious set of missions and goals. We strive to make a positive impact on our community and to help less fortunate individuals so that they can have equal access to the resources and opportunities available to them.

Records Broken...

Last Summer, we collected a total of 928 lbs of food donations over the course of summer break, an immense amount of food, and it stood in first place at The Compass for the most amount of food donated from a non-commercial food drive in 20 years. It is equivalent to 1 meal for more than 1900 people.

Where we've worked...

We've currently worked in areas of Mississauga in the Greater Toronto Area, but now with a larger network of youth throughout the city, we are able to expand to the other communities of the GTA. Here are some of the areas that we've worked in:
