We’re The Skoolyard

A McGill student club helping young men build real friendships, create cool things, and talk openly about the pressure to “be great” all the time.

We’re not here to sell you a morning routine or promise you $10K/month from your laptop.

We’re here to talk about why that pressure exists in the first place — and how the online “guru” industry has convinced our generation that our worth equals our income.

That kind of mental conditioning is burning guys out before they even start.

We’re flipping that script — one honest conversation, one event, one inside joke at a time.

In just three weeks, we’ve grown to 40+ members on Skool.com, and now we’re turning that energy into action.

Two Fundraisers. One Mission.

1️⃣ Movember.ca → All donations there go directly to the Movember Foundation to support global men’s mental health, suicide prevention, and cancer research (you’ll get a tax receipt).

2️⃣ This GoFundMe → Funds our student-run movement right here at McGill. Every dollar helps us host events, run awareness campaigns, and create a space where guys can be honest, curious, and human again.

Where the money goes

• Hosting mental health workshops and “Clarity Chats” on campus

• Funding our first-ever Winter Wellness Retreat (Airbnb + group dinner for our top 10 most active members)

• Creating resources and merch to keep spreading awareness year-round

All funds here go directly to The Skoolyard Club. Movember donations are handled separately through Movember.ca — we’ll share proof of both on Instagram @theskoolyard.

Why it matters

We’ve all felt it — the quiet pressure to perform, to grind, to never fall behind.

And if we’re honest, it’s breaking a lot of us.

The Skoolyard exists to help guys remember that you’re not behind — you’re just human.

That purpose comes from connection, not comparison.

✊ Let’s redefine what it means to “man up.”

It’s not about grinding harder.

It’s about showing up — for yourself and for each other.

And yeah, maybe playing a little basketball while we’re at it.

No raffles, sweepstakes, giveaways, or returns on investment are offered in exchange for any donations made to this GoFundMe.
