About Focus on
Youth:
"Focus on Youth" is a partnership between the Ontario
Government, school boards and local community agencies. It
provides summer programming for students in identified high
needs urban neighbourhoods.
"This program allows for learning to extend beyond the
classroom and the regular school year - we are providing
opportunities to engage students year-round," said Education
Minister Kathleen Wynne.
"Opening our schools to community programs is a significant
part of the effort to set our youth on pathways to success.
United Way is proud to be part of an innovative program that
will mean the world to youth in our city. Thanks to Focus On
Youth, thousands of young people in neighbourhoods across
Toronto will again be able to take part in recreational,
leadership, and employment opportunities they would not
otherwise have," said United Way President Frances Lankin.
