Last night, our CEO, Frank Cattoni, presented as the Impact Speaker at the United Way of Calgary and Area’s Event for Enbridge. Frank spoke about the belief that drives our work at CBFY: that when young people feel safe and supported in school, they can see a future for themselves in Calgary.
“When a young person arrives in Canada, they may be learning a new language, adjusting to new routines, carrying big expectations from home, and trying to make sense of a new school system,” Frank said. “For some, every school day can feel like something to survive, not a place where they feel safe, seen, and belong.”
“Together, we can help young people move from uncertainty to confidence, from isolation to connection, and from potential to contribution.”
The young people we support today are the future workforce of Calgary, and they bring multilingual ability, cultural fluency, persistence, adaptability, and resilience they’ve developed through real-life experiences.
Thank you to the United Way Calgary and Area for your continued support, and for the opportunity to share CBFY’s impact with the Calgary community.
