Shaping our future today
How our city evolves in the future depends on one key ingredient: youth
Discover MoreSSYO Pillars
Our programs empower members to engage in their communities and become the leaders of tomorrow. Our pillars lift youth to new heights.
Athletics
Sports have the power to support classroom learning, and we want to grant access to a range of sports for all children aged 5-17. Our athletics programs give them a safe space to get physically active, make connections with their peers and learn valuable skills such as collaboration, discipline and problem-solving.
Mental Health
We believe that a healthy mind assures youth success. From our Mental Health Programs to our Anxiety 101 workshop our objectives are to ensure the physical, mental and emotional health of our youth and their families. We will always keep the mental health of our members at the core of everything we do.
Community Outreach
Teaching the youngest members of our community how to care for those around them fosters lifelong leadership. Our events and programs inspire youth to be of service to their communities and neighbours by providing them with the chance to give back.
Education
Our team’s backgrounds in education and passion for working with youth drives us to give students the academic support they need to be successful, by providing services and resources such as tutoring, homework and exam help, and financial literacy.

Having people from the community taking that kind of initiative during such difficult times shows compassion, love and commitment. I love that the organization is very action-oriented. Their tutoring program has helped my son stay on track during the pandemic and he loves their approach.

SSYO has allowed me to open doors for my son, Darius. They've helped me teach him how to share with our community. The tutoring program has helped him feel confident and comfortable. Community is about taking care of each other. The earlier youth learn this, the better. Thank you for all the work you do!
