About Trails Youth Initiatives
Trails Youth Initiatives has a mission to challenge and equip vulnerable youth from at-risk areas of Toronto to become contributing members of the community. The “Four Seasons, Four Years, For Life” program represents experiential education at its best. In our long-term, consistent and preventative program, youth are building confidence and enhancing their well-being by facing and overcoming challenges. Through outdoor skills development, high school credits, bursaries, mentorship and job opportunities, Trails is helping to break the cycle of poverty and systemic racism. 100% of Trails participants graduate from high school and 72% of alumni enter post-secondary school, with tuition costs covered by Trails. Trails relies on the generosity of non-government donations from companies, foundations and individuals to provide life-changing experiences for its participants. www.trails.ca.
