About Us
"Be the change you want to see in the world."
- Gandhi
Youthunited is the youth philanthropic program of United Way Toronto.
Philanthropy is the giving of time, money and/or talent to a cause you believe in.
In 2008, we had 75 schools and over 4,000 students who gave time, talent, and who raised close to $130,000 for United Way Toronto because they believed in the work that we do.
Youthunited is a FOR YOUTH BY YOUTH initiative, meaning that the money you raise as youth goes to address youth issues. Who better than teenagers to support teenagers?
United Way Toronto is working to advance the common good.
We believe—and we hope you agree—that what unites us as a community, is ultimately more powerful than what divides us. By supporting United Way through Youthunited, you can make a positive difference every single day.
When you become a philanthropist for Youthunited, you know that through United Way you are building a better future for all.
If your vision of Toronto is a city where all neighbourhoods are healthy and vibrant places to live and work and where young people have every opportunity for success, then you’ve come to the right place!
If you believe that we need to work at the forefront of change to address root causes of problems, then you know that it takes a community working together to change social conditions.
Youth are integral to change. We hope you’re not content with the status quo. And we hope you’re not content to let others make decisions for you. Most of all, we hope you have the courage to right the wrongs that you see.
We invite you to be the change you want to see.
