Thank you for your interest in volunteering with AWYF. Our journey began in 2019 in a Toronto shelter. In 2021, our work expanded to Sudbury, where we have now established the AWYF Community Centre that now serves Black immigrants and broader community members through culturally responsive wellness and settlement programs and services. In Winter 2026, we launched a pilot Sports for Mental Health program in North Bay in collaboration with partner agencies. Through our initiatives, we are creating safe, inclusive spaces that promote mental wellness, strengthen community connections, and support the holistic development of children, youth and families. Please complete this form, and a member of our team will be in touch with you shortly.
