OUR MISSION

Head & Hands envisions a society where all youth are participants and are inspired by the endless possibilities available to them.

Our mission is to work with youth to facilitate their empowerment and to promote their physical and mental health. Through education, intervention and referral, and in collaboration with other organizations, we provide medical, social and legal services and recreational activities to youth of diverse communities, free of charge. We also work with youth to help them define and take their place in their communities and society. Our approach is preventative, inclusive, holistic, and harm-reductive. We actively work to be accessible to marginalized youth.

WAYS TO GIVE:

Give monthly:

Giving monthly provides a big financial impact and stable, steady income to Head & Hands, without breaking the bank all in one go. Contribute to our organization's long-term growth, and support our core costs like rent, phone bills, and even coffee for the waiting room.

One-time gift: 

Not able to give monthly? Make a one-time gift today! Gifts of all sizes make huge impacts. 

• $15 provides 2 days of healthy food for a young family
• $25 funds one counselling session
• $75 allows us to give one sexual health workshop
• $250 puts our Street Workers in the community for 15 hours of outreach

Give in memory or in honour: 

In lieu of sending flowers, consider making a gift to Head & Hands to honour the memory of a loved one. You can let them know that the gift you gave for them or their family provided significant change in the lives of a youth 12-25 years old.

Giving In-Kind:

Do you have something you think could come in handy for our work with youth? Do you have a skill that you’d like to share? Let us know! Contact us at 514-481-0277 before bringing donations by, as our space is sometimes limited.

Planned Giving: 

By making a planned gift to Head & Hands, you can help minimize your tax burden while ensuring community support for future generations of youth. Here are a few of the options you may want to explore with your financial planner or notary:

• Gifts of securities (shares, saving bonds, etc.)
