The Heart of 1 of ONE
We aim to provide a safe, supportive and engaging environment where youth, young adults and members of the community can learn, grow, connect and thrive. Through academic support, mentoring, life-skills development, technology, recreation, gaming, creative activities and community engagement, we empower each young person to recognize their unique potential, build confidence, make positive choices, and prepare for a successful future. Because we are all 1 Of One.
