Emerging Leaders ERG – Holiday Giving Drive
This season, we unite to create joy and belonging for youth in Ontario’s child welfare system. Many of these young people face homelessness, trauma, and isolation, with graduation rates far below the general population.
At StepStones for Youth, our mission is to create transformative change in the lives of youth in and from Canada’s Child Protection Services. We strengthen systems and supports that stabilize housing, increase school engagement and employment opportunities, improve mental and physical health, and help youth build lasting relationships and community.
Each year, a cherished tradition that brings this mission to life is our Holiday Gift Drive. During our annual Holiday Dinner, every young person receives a personalized gift, something chosen just for them, to remind them that they are seen, valued, and supported during the holiday season.
Your Impact
Every $100 funds one gift that sparks hope and inclusion. Metrolinx’s goal is $500 to provide five personalized gifts. Your generosity helps youth graduate, secure safe housing, and stabilize mental health, creating futures where all young people can thrive.
Join Us - Together, we shape a brighter tomorrow through the power of giving.
