INCLUSIVE Programs Supported by the Foundation

The North Toronto Sports Foundation supports inclusive community programs that promote physical activity and sports participation among children and youth. The current programs are;

Refugee and Recent Immigrant Program

Supporting refugees and recent immigrants to Toronto to participate in North Toronto Soccer Club programs. Most children from immigrant families have played soccer in their home country or in refugee camps. When they join a team or a program, they fit in immediately, are appreciated by their teammates, and feel welcome in their new community.

Low Income Family Inclusion Program

Scholarships and fee assistance for children and youth from families with limited financial resources who are participating in community soccer programs from recreational to competitive levels.

All-Abilities Sports Program

Special Olympics Soccer and Para Sports programs operate year-round, providing special needs children and youth with opportunities to experience community sports.

School Sports Inclusion Program

North Toronto Sports Foundation fully funds programs in under-served schools that provide children from families in low-income neighbourhoods with improved access to physical activity and organized sports.

The SWAN initiative in the TDSB Lawrence Heights family of schools focuses on the physical well-being of children in local schools, and the relationship between wellness and academic achievement.

Note:

North Toronto Soccer Club programs funded by North Toronto Sports Foundation are operated on behalf of the Foundation under the terms of specific Contractor Agreements between the Foundation and the Club.
