Parenting programs target Black families and offer a “wrap around” strategy. It provides culturally responsive services to parents, infants, children, and youth, including counselling, drop-in parent and child programs, workshops, parent peer relationships, recreation, and community referrals.

Skills For Life aligns with the "Mindset Growth Model", which amplifies the importance of continuous learning and self-discovery. The concept was founded on the principles of exploring, confronting, and moving past failure to build on key transferable skills that can be practically applied to daily life.

We organize workshops, events, and other initiatives to fill the gap between traditional learning and practical skills. We are determined to help kids from all walks of life realize the tools they have within themselves to pursue their dreams.
