The Focus On Youth program is a partnership between the Ontario Government, school boards and local community agencies providing summer programs for students in recognized high needs urban neighbourhoods, as well as employment opportunities and leadership training for youth.
Focus on Youth supports the use of Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) school space and the employment of TCDSB students by non-profit community organizations participating in the program.
Established in 2007, the program is a part of the TCDSB's plan to promote learning through play, healthy lifestyle and positive self images for children and youth.
