    Create a Program With the Youth You Serve.

    Finding Your Heart collaborates with schools, youth agencies, shelters, community centres and local organizations to deliver programming within trusted community environments.

    Support the Initiative

Your Support Goes Directly Into the Work.

Funding allows Finding Your Heart to deliver complete, accessible and meaningful program experiences, from the first conversation to the final creative artifact.

Shoes and Creative Materials

Participants receive the tools and materials required to explore their ideas without financial barriers.

Mental Health Facilitation

Support helps provide structured, trauma-informed conversations around identity, emotions, resilience and self-awareness.

Storytelling and Journey Mapping

Youth are given space to explore their lived experiences, recognize their growth and shape their stories in healthy and empowering ways.

Youth Leadership and Stipends

Funding creates opportunities for youth to grow beyond participation and contribute as mentors, facilitators, creatives and community leaders.

Community Expansion

Additional support enables FYH to build relationships and deliver programming in more Toronto communities.

Documentary Storytelling

Media production helps preserve youth and community stories, document impact and amplify perspectives that are too often overlooked.

The existing FYH model combines mental health education, storytelling and hands-on artistic expression, culminating in participants creating personalized artifacts that reflect their identity and experience.

Community-Led. Culturally Relevant. Built on Trust.

Finding Your Heart does not enter communities independently and assume what young people need. We build relationships with trusted community organizations, leaders and facilitators before delivering programming. This warm-welcome model allows each experience to respond to the culture, needs and lived realities of the youth involved. The result is programming that feels less like an outside intervention and more like an authentic extension of the community.
