Mission Statement
At the Go Green Youth Centre, our mission is to relieve poverty and assist disadvantaged youth, particularly children of recent immigrants, to overcome social exclusion and isolation by establishing a multi-sport field and operating free multi-sport & enriched recreational programs for children of low-income families in Thorncliffe Park and Flemingdon Park (a Neighbourhood Improvement Area) in Toronto.
We have built and operate an inclusive and welcoming environmentally sustainable multi-sport facility that stimulates youth to be active, healthy and engaged as well as skilled and responsible contributing leaders in their neighbourhood.
Through our youth-led programs, we help newcomers and youth make new friends, build support networks, practice English, maintain good health, reduce stress, foster leadership opportunities, and develop employment skills.
