Who We Are

A community-built program giving Scarborough youth the structure, support, and tools to grow.

Our Story

The SmartBox Foundation

Every young person deserves access to a safe space, a supportive adult, and a reason to show up.

We started in Scarborough because this is our community. We saw youth in priority neighbourhoods who needed more than after-school programming. They needed structure. They needed consistency. They needed people who would show up for them every single week without exception.

SmartBox Foundation was created to be exactly that. A program where youth ages 11 to 18 come twice a week, train, eat, and spend dedicated time with a youth worker who is there for them personally, not just professionally. No cost. No barriers. Just commitment.
