About H.E.L.P. Youth Canada

We believe that everyone, regardless of their past, deserves the chance to obtain an education, leading to a good job and a path out of poverty. We achieve this by working closely with local youth agencies who recommend motivated, school-ready youth for our bursaries. Together, as a team, we work to provide wrap-around care to ensure each bursary youth stands the best chance of success.

H.E.L.P. for Youth Canada Society is a registered non-profit (BN# 842459109 RR0001) whose goal is to assist vulnerable youth out of poverty through access to education.
H.E.L.P. believes that a bursary youth stands the best chance of success if they are well-supported – not only financially but physically and emotionally. Therefore, our mandate fosters wrap-around care.
With this in mind, and to encourage success, our recipients must be championed through a case worker or a support worker at the agencies we partner with. Likewise, school liaisons are encouraged.
