GOALS
Our goals are focused on:
- Engaging marginalized youth in unique arts programs that develop both artistic and personal skills;
- Providing meaningful mentorship opportunities that could lead youth to finding gainful employment; and,
- Providing children and youth with a venue to develop a stake in their own community.
The results of AFCY’s work can be seen in many places throughout Toronto: outdoor spaces, hallways, hospitals, and entrances of schools and community centres display the art of children and youth who have worked with AFCY artists and youth arts assistants. Community and media interest in many of AFCY’s special projects have been extensive and enthusiastic.
