• Creating safe spaces and tailored programming for multi-barriered youth

• Offering financial empowerment and problem-solving supports

• Supporting early childhood development for children and caregivers

• Addressing food insecurity through essential food distribution

• Reducing isolation and supporting health for low-income seniors

• Helping newcomers navigate systems and build community

• Increasing access to mental health and wellness services

Thank you for being part of this work. Your generosity fuels our vision of a thriving, equitable Jane-Finch community

For decades, the Jane-Finch community—and especially its youth—have been written off: in media narratives, in funding decisions, and in opportunities.

In response, local youth have created Write Us Off: Bias Training, By Us: a community-led bias training that challenges harmful stereotypes and shifts the conversation. This time, youth are asking people to “write them off” in a new way—by taking the training, supporting the work, and writing it off as a tax-deductible donation.

This training is grounded in lived experience, shaped by the voices of young people who live the impacts of systemic bias every day. Developed and delivered by Jane-Finch youth, Bias Training, By Us offers a powerful learning experience for companies, schools, organizations and individuals looking to move beyond performative inclusion.

Participants gain real, community-rooted insights that help strengthen their equity practices—and every training purchased directly funds programs at the Jane/Finch Centre.

Why It Matters
Through four self-guided modules, youth unpack the systems, stories, and structures that have long marginalized communities like Jane-Finch.

What’s Covered
Four insightful, self-guided modules:

1. Breaking the Broken System

2. Overcoming Historical Oppression

3. The Media’s Perception vs. Reality

4. Charting the Course

These modules explore systemic bias, media stereotypes, historical context, and paths forward.

How It Works

• Choose your level: individual, self-employed, or business

• Make a tax-deductible contribution and receive a password via email

• Access the training anytime—on your schedule
