Many of the refugee youth we serve lost their homes, family members, and friends.

Today, in their new homes, they find themselves in difficult environments with few supports. Our youth program, called Flash Forward PhotoVoice, provides a safe and welcoming place where youth can express themselves, learn life skills, build resiliency and most importantly, feel a sense of belonging. Please donate now to help us keep changing lives.

THE FLASH FORWARD PHOTOVOICE PROJECT

We give youth the tools to overcome traumatic experiences, develop resiliency and build pathways for a brighter future.

Last year, the Syrian Canadian Foundation successfully launched PhotoVoice after raising $20,000 in the first round of funding. You can help us raise $20,000 once more to continue running the project and keep changing lives.

Donations to the Syrian Canadian Foundation are zakat eligible!
