WHAT
WE DO

Providing
Resources

Working closely with Children’s Aid Society of Toronto (CAST), we share Black-serving and informed organizations on our website to connect Black families to the support they need.

Navigating
Families

We help simplify the policies and systems of the Children’s Aid Society of Toronto (CAST) to make them more culturally aware, relevant, and easier to navigate for Black families.
