Our Impact
Our Programs
Lit From Birth
The Youth HELP Foundation is proud to partner with the United Way TCI, Learn and Lead Education Center, and the TCI Hospitals to make books available to parents and support them in reading to their children from birth under the "Lit from Birth" campaign. The campaign is ongoing and, to date, has made over 500 books available to parents and supports them in reading to their children.
Reading to children during the first 1000 days of life has numerous benefits for their overall development.
Visual Arts & STEM
The Youth HELP Foundation is committed to giving young people early access to visual arts, health, and S.T.E.M. programs that spark creativity, enhance cognitive growth, and inspire innovative thinking—laying the groundwork for lifelong success.
By introducing science, technology, and the power of visual expression at an early age, we equip youth to think creatively, lead boldly, and become the innovators who shape a more vibrant and prosperous future.

The United Way TCI “Yes, I Can Read” intervention program is a targeted literacy initiative designed for Grade 2 students to the aim to enroll over 300 childrens in partnership with public schools. Delivered through a pullout model, the program is led by experienced literacy teachers who provide focused reading and comprehension support for students facing academic challenges.
Dedicated resource rooms have been established in each participating school for enhanced reading intervention.
