The Toronto Foundation for Student Success is the charitable foundation of the Toronto District School Board. Our goal is to help alleviate stress factors experienced by students; stresses like hunger, poverty, and violence.

The nutrition programs, vision and hearing clinics, and after school programs we provide are becoming more and more prevalent, and more and more essential.

Children who feel seen, loved and honoured are far more able to become loving parents and productive citizens capable of making wise choices. That’s why putting children first is the key to restoring our planet. Child Honouring offers a unique way forward for humanity – a systemic approach for addressing major challenges we face. Child Honouring can create a stronger and more durable social and ecological foundation in four ways: 1. Healing communities 2. Fostering character growth in children 3. Restoring ecosystems and detoxifying environments 4. Creating learning environments that educate and inspire an entire generation to carry out these tasks Children are not a partisan concern, and Child Honouring is not pitted against any person or ideology. Its allegiance is to children, and to their families. It speaks emphatically for the birthright of children in every culture to live in a world of love, dignity and security.
