MISSION

To offer holistic support to refugee and migrant children navigating immigration, legal and social services systems in Ontario. We work to ensure that children and youth are empowered in their own lives and that the immigration processes and other systems they are navigating are responsive to their individual needs and circumstances.

An immigration system in Canada and a settlement landscape in Ontario where children’s rights are upheld, children’s voices are amplified and valued, and the needs of all children are met through access to the opportunities and supports they require.
