About Youth Unlimited
With over 1 million young people in the Toronto area alone, Youth Unlimited’s vision is to see every one of them transformed by God's love & life-changing power. Our hope is that by cultivating relationships with caring adults who will mentor and cheer them on, our young people will be able to bring about positive change to our city – both now and in the future.
We do this through grassroots programming, a focus on wholistic transformation, and a network of local partnerships. This includes after-school programs, sports programs, summer camps, and more.
