Our Approach
TRANSFORMING LIVES BY BUILDING PREVENTATIVE PROGRAMS
We help children, youth, and adults rise above poverty by providing preventative programs.
Our programs are designed to equip them to make wise choices about school, friends, relationships, work, and the future.
TRANSFORMING LIVES BY BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS
We desire that every child, youth and adult in our programs will come into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ. We also believe in:
Presence: We build relationships with the community and strive to be a positive presence.
Partnerships: We rely on the relationship with our partners in order to multiply the effectiveness and breadth of impact.
TRANSFORMING LIVES BY BUILDING LEADERS
Toronto City Mission is dedicated to building leaders in our city.
Volunteers and Interns: We invest in our volunteers and interns and in return these leaders give back to their city and are role models in the communities in which we serve.
Community Leaders: We intentionally mentor and equip children, youth, and adults to become leaders in their own communities through programs such as Teens Leading Communities.
