By all accounts, today is a momentous day for YWS.
This morning, we gathered in downtown Toronto to announce our newest initiative, The Helix Project, and to celebrate the grand opening of Helix House.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our grand opening today. We are very excited to take our model of care and wrap-around supports to greater heights thanks to the dedicated support of our staff, donors, board members, and community allies.
So proud of @WrightStrat client @YWSToronto on the ribbon cutting of Helix House. The downtwn location for YWS' incredible Stay In School. This project wouldn't have come together w/o the support of @m_layton@JohnTory#topoli and the allocation of community benefit funding.
Last week, our Career Mentors at Whiteboard Collective dropped off a Thanksgiving meal to the youth at @YWSToronto π
