Since February, YSM has been hosting a webinar series, Poverty Myth Busters, about the complexities of poverty in Toronto and the realities faced by struggling neighbours.
Our first webinar, Understanding Poverty in Toronto, highlights how multiple barriers can contribute to poverty, as post-WWII designed government and social supports are no longer sufficient.
The second webinar, Changing Lives, further deepens understanding poverty in Toronto by discussing tangible actions anyone can take to contribute to a community solution.
Our third webinar, Building Community, dives deeper into the ways in which YSM and community agencies are working together to create a support network for struggling neighbours.
Our fourth webinar, Behind The Scenes: A Day in our Life at the Mission, pulls back the curtain and shows the daily struggles of the community members we serve and the lives transformed through the generosity of our donors.
