Program Design
We specialize in designing culturally responsive youth-led programming and African-centred program models for African, Caribbean & Black youth and young adults.
We have advanced knowledge in youth justice program design and creating safe, welcoming spaces for youth that are experiencing on-going conflict with the law. We often lean on youth-centred processes such as African-centred Rites of Passage principles, Restorative Justice and alternatives to discipline to engage youth. During the program design process, we also consider multi-layered challenges, such as environmental factors, educational attainment, financial insecurity, mental health, and/or experiences within the child-welfare system.
We particularly enjoy working with organizations that are committed to providing programming that is responsive to the needs of the community it serves. Connect with us for guidance on how to develop youth programs that are truly community-driven and culturally engaging.

We have a diverse team of culturally responsive facilitators representing a variety of professional backgrounds within the social service sector.
Our facilitators are skilled in fostering safe spaces to have real conversations about important topics such as anti-Black racism, the School-to-Prison Pipeline, working with youth that are justice involved, Restorative Justice, navigating community services and more.
We do our best to provide training opportunities and presentations that are financially accessible and will provide youth, post-secondary students and social service professionals with practical tools to help navigate the spaces of life, school, work and community.
