About

The Toronto Youth Action for Change (EYAC) plans to reach out to at least 1000 youth in the GTA, including Scarborough, Etobicoke, North York, and the general public. We will focus on some of the most pressing issues confronting the black youth community and encourage them to be good community citizens. The TYAC will address the challenges faced by youth in the black community, such as crime, social and linguistic barriers, unemployment, and poverty, in order to foster economic integration.

Our Foundation uses soccer as a primary magnet to reach out to black youth in Canada. The Foundation’s Soccer Club, with the slogan “Soccer for Integration & Inclusion – Soccer for Social Cohesion,” facilitates all programs to help these young athletes succeed not only on the soccer field, but in life as a whole, while staying out of trouble. We play at Downview Sport Centre and Scarborough every week at night. We play on the weekends

The Foundation has always had a deep connection with the people of Haiti as well. One of our initiatives is Solidarity Toronto with children in Haiti and it was launched in 2014.Haiti is a country that has had a fair share of struggles and the Foundation is committed to working with the Haitian population with a focus on children so that they can thrive and make the most out of life. Also, the Haitian community in Toronto is very important to us and the Foundation values its special relationship with this community.

You can become a young leader and entrepreneur in today’s society. The goal of the leadership and Entrepreneurship programs are to expose young people to the world on a national and international scale. As an entrepreneur, you should also maximize your potential in ways that exceed your expectations. The Leadership program will help individuals build positive relationships with their communities while exploring opportunities to better themselves and their communities. The Youth Entrepreneurship Program is designed to work with young people who want to be business owners and entrepreneurs. While the program’s goal is to promote economic and social inclusion through workshops and seminars, the TYAC will engage young entrepreneurs in discussions about trade, labour markets, autonomy, and the global economy.

The homeless population in our city is among the most vulnerable to the pandemic. As a result, the Foundation made assisting this vulnerable population a top priority. We have been able to provide 4,750 meals, PPE, and other supplies to homeless people on multiple occasions since the outbreak began.

The Sylvenie Lindor Foundation is deeply committed to assisting refugees in settling into their new lives in Canada. One of the most important ways is that we do our part to make their arrival in Canada less stressful and more manageable. There is currently a severe refugee crisis, with many good and decent people unable to return to their home country and thus requiring the assistance of countries such as Canada.
