Some youth lack food. Others lack financial literacy. Too many lack both. Your gift changes everything.

Across Canada, youth are facing a dual crisis: a lack of financial literacy and rising food insecurity.
81% of high school graduates leave school without basic financial skills.
1 in 3 children live in a food-insecure household.
Young adults are twice as likely to rely on unverified financial advice online.
Nearly 712,000 food bank visits each month come from children under 18.
Without intervention, these gaps follow young people into adulthood, impacting their stability, well-being, and opportunities.
A first-of-its-kind ecosystem that integrates:
Financial literacy education
Entrepreneurship and marketing skills
Personal development and community leadership
Youth not only learn, but they will build, grow, sell, and sustain, creating a self-sufficient pathway that empowers them for life.
Our community initiative provides nourishing meals; preparing and distributing meals to families, neighbours, and the most vulnerable communities experiencing food insecurity.
With your support, we can:
Teach youth how to manage money wisely
Train them to grow and maintain food using agri-tech
Provide real-world experience through COY micro-enterprises
Keep families fed through the Meals Movement
Build a generation that is financially capable and food secure
A single gift can close a lifelong gap in financial literacy and food security.
