Description

Since 2004, Liberty For Youth has visited youth aged 12-25 in four different youth detention centres across Southern Ontario. We’ve helped over 700 youth make the transition from being at-risk and/or post-incarceration to becoming productive citizens. In order to encourage the youth through the reintegration process, we provide 4 unique programs FREE of charge.  To continue providing these opportunities of change, we hold our annual Power Of A Changed Life gala, to raise funds for youth scholarships and program sustainability.

The Power of A Changed Life gala focuses on providing public affirmation for at-risk youth by allowing them to share their testimonies from failures to successes. To help propel at-risk youth to the next stage in their lives, ten youth will also be awarded with post-secondary scholarships.  We have given out $100,000 in scholarships to date and this year we will be giving another $10,000 ($1000 x 10 youth.) 

The proceeds from this event will be directed toward sustaining our programs.
