UrbanHope Mentorship Program

Tax deductible
UrbanHope is a mentorship program for kids & youth in the St. Lawrence, Canary (Old Corktown), & surrounding high-rise communities of downtown Toronto.

The St. Lawrence Community has one of the highest concentrations of children and youth at risk in the City of Toronto. The UrbanHope mentorship program reaches out to children from their junior kindergarten years and partners with them until they graduate from high school.

The UrbanHope Objective: Our Mission is to reach the students in the St. Lawrence, Canary (Old Corktown), & surrounding high-rise communities by developing them into leaders, who restore their community. We also want to provide students opportunities to learn life skills through our mentorship program and developing a generation of young leaders who care for future young leaders, and serve their community.

The UrbanHope Mentorship program also has the endorsement of our local police in downtown Toronto (51 Division).

UrbanHope Programs: The following programs that are currently in place:

Homework Club where qualified teachers assist students of all ages with homework;

UrbanHope Youth, a weekly program that builds community and provides a safe place for students in grades 6 to 12

UrbanHope Kids, a weekly program for children in Kindergarten to grade 6

LIT Training Program (Leaders in Training), for Junior Leaders, Team Leaders and Interns who will have hands-on opportunities to develop leadership skills and grow as a leader

UrbanHope Community Events:
A GIANT Easter Egg Hunt for all the kids in the community over the Easter holiday weekend. Our annual UrbanHope Christmas party filled with Christmas acticitives and we send EVERY child home with a Christmas present.

UrbanHope Summer Camps: We offer our $10 a week summer camps, which allows all children to be able to attend! We only charge $10, but we provide a top of the line summer camp experience! There are multiple weeks of camp each summer.

UrbanHope has one full-time staff member and has an umbrella charity status under Church in the City. All contributions received will go towards funding the programs run by UrbanHope as well as to develop and expand the scope of the programs, subsidize the costs of summer camps and provide honorariums to Junior Leaders, Team Leaders, and Interns from the St. Lawrence community.

The average cost to support a child in Kindergarten to Grade 6 is $300 per year.

The average cost per child/youth in Grade 7 to Grade 12 is $500 per year.

The average cost for Junior Leaders, Team Leaders is $300 per year and the Intern will be paid hourly based on the minimum wage.

Your support will also be used for supporting refugees, food drives, and families in need in the neighbourhood.
