Helping vulnerable youth and seniors impacted by the lack of social and economic support through supportive programs.
Our programs are designed to target vulnerable youth and isolated seniors, with some youth programs designed primarily for vulnerable individuals within the Black community. We are offering support in three broad areas: health, education / mentoring, and employment.
We invite everyone to connect with us as we fulfil our mission.
GAME (Guidance, Athletics, Mentoring, Education) is a youth initiative by Re-Imagine Ontario, tailored for young males aged 10-17 who might benefit from paternal or peer guidance. This new program, with new activities starting in 2025, harnesses the power of sports and outdoor activities, to provide a dynamic environment where participants can grow under the mentorship of positive male role models.
These role models come from diverse backgrounds including high school and college students, working professionals, religious leaders, and local police officers.
Through engaging activities and consistent support, GAME aims to build self-confidence, resilience, friendship, and a strong sense of community among participants. It offers team sports, outdoor adventures, and community engagement activities. These sessions promote mental health and physical well-being, social and conflict resolution skills, awareness about hate crimes, and a deeper understanding of community and cultural values.
GAME is more than just a program – it’s a pathway to empowering young men to lead fulfilled, responsible lives.
Job-Ready Opportunities for Building Success (J.O.B.S.) is coming in 2025. This new program seeks to assist youth ages 18-30 – who face socio-economic challenges and who are not in education, employment, or training – by connecting them with employment professionals for personalized help and then connecting them with small businesses to gain valuable on-the-job experience and training. It targets vulnerable youth who do not qualify for other employment programs but are actively trying to find work.
This initiative partners with employment professionals to help these young people with pre-job preparation, on-the-job support, and post-employment follow-up. It also provides an opportunity for peer support and encouragement during job searches. J.O.B.S will provide support for travel and interview outfits where necessary. Please contact us to see if you qualify.
Best Educational and Exploration Camping Hub (B.E.E.C.H) is a summer STEM and Adventure camp offers youth an opportunity to engage and grow through recreation and education. To see when the next summer camp will be run, follow our Facebook page and check our Events page on our website for all of the latest events.

Founded in 2020, we seek to re-imagine opportunities in health, education, and employment, to support vulnerable youth, primarily those within the Black community, and to also support socially isolated seniors from the general population. We offer programs in health/mental health, education/mentoring, and employment. Come join us as we work to change perceptions and change lives.
Our vision is to foster healthier communities for youth and their families, and also seniors who are facing socioeconomic vulnerabilities.
Our mission is to improve the health, education and employment of vulnerable individuals, with particular focus on seniors and black youth, through community networks, development opportunities, and family supports.
The organization’s values are upheld by the respect it shows to its most valued resources, which are its staff, volunteers and the people it serves in the community.
