About Us
ABOUT US!
Our History & Values
Founded in community response to the senseless and devastating killing of Allistair Chisolm, upstanding son of the organization’s president and a completely innocent bystander to the youth violence that would suddenly engulf him, some of our volunteers currently provide comforting emotional support and supportive counseling to grieving families affected by youth violence in Toronto, Mississauga and Brampton. We’re also working towards implementing:
- A program of diversion of youth who have committed minor offenses from the criminal justice program through supervised individualized corrective plans, youth counseling, mentorship, and family support.
- A program of mental health counseling and individualized advocacy for affected community members.
- Provision of material supports, particularly food and other basic necessities, for low-income individuals and families in the community.
