Our Mission
...is to serve suffering children of the street, and protect and safeguard all children...with absolute respect and unconditional love. Mission statement here.
Our Vision
Covenant House Toronto is a leading expert in and advocate for homeless youth in Canada. We serve the largest homeless youth population and provide the most comprehensive range
of housing and support services through our facilities and in collaboration with community partners, to meet the needs of street youth.
We are flexible and responsive to the emerging needs of homeless youth. Our actions are supported by in-depth information and research and our operations are second to none.
Our vision and management philosophy are guided by our Covenant House Principles.
Immediacy
Kids come to us in crisis, desperately needing help. We provide for their basic human needs - food, clothing, a shower and medical attention - immediately.
Sanctuary
Kids who are trying to get off the street are often scared and mistrustful. We protect our kids from violence and degradation by providing them safety.
Communicating Values
By setting an example, we show our youth that wholesome, caring relationships are based on trust, respect and honesty.
Structure
Street life is unstable and unpredictable. We provide structure and a reasonable set of expectations to give our kids a chance to focus on their future.
Choice
We help our youth make positive choices. We give them the encouragement they need to believe in themselves and to change.
