On International Women’s Day, we celebrate the power of giving to gain. When we invest in women through mentorship, training, opportunity and support, entire communities grow stronger. At Yonge Street Mission, programs like our Women’s Development Network help women build skills, confidence and connection as they settle into life in Canada. When women thrive, we all rise. #IWD2026 #GiveToGain #YSM #YongeStreetMission #ChangingLives #BuildingCommunity #TransformingToronto #BetterTogether

"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others." - Mahatma Gandhi. Let's remember the power of giving back and supporting those around us. #InspirationalQuote #Service #ChangingLives #BuildingCommunity #TransformingToronto #BetterTogether

We’re honoured to welcome a very special member of the YSM community as our Opening Ceremonies speaker at this year’s Winter Walk. 💙 Born and raised in Toronto and growing up in Regent Park, Rafi Matin was first introduced to YSM through our Computer Literacy Centre in elementary school — a program that would become a life-changing part of his journey. After years as a student, Rafi returned to YSM as a volunteer, then a teacher, and today he leads our high school and advanced programming courses, helping the next generation build skills, confidence and opportunity through technology. Beyond YSM, Rafi is a neuroscience graduate and now a research assistant at The Hospital for Sick Children. He's also a proud Leafs' fan! Rafi's story is a powerful reminder of what’s possible when community comes together. We can’t wait for you to hear from him before our walk begins at 4:00 pm on February 7. If you haven't made a donation yet, there's still time! ysm.ca/winter-walk #YSMWinterWalk #YSMWW #CommunityImpact #YouthEmpowerment #ChangingLives #BetterTogether
