Thank you to everyone who joined us for our grand opening today. We are very excited to take our model of care and wrap-around supports to greater heights thanks to the dedicated support of our staff, donors, board members, and community allies.

By all accounts, today is a momentous day for YWS. This morning, we gathered in downtown Toronto to announce our newest initiative, The Helix Project, and to celebrate the grand opening of Helix House.

So proud of @WrightStrat client @YWSToronto on the ribbon cutting of Helix House. The downtwn location for YWS' incredible Stay In School. This project wouldn't have come together w/o the support of @m_layton @JohnTory #topoli and the allocation of community benefit funding.

Here's a little sneak peek at some exciting news we'll be announcing tomorrow! Stay tuned for details 🤐

IBC, a United Way donor, came to YWS earlier this month to cook a delicious lunch of chicken wings, burgers, and nachos! This was their first time joining us for some volunteer works, and hopefully won’t be the last – we had a blast! Thanks for everything @insurancebureau!
