⚽ As FIFA season brings the world together, it’s a reminder that sports are all about connection, teamwork, and belonging.

At Covenant House Toronto, we're seeing that same spirit every week as young people come together through various sports and recreation activities, we offer youth. What starts as a game often grows into friendships and a community they can count on.

For many youth, these experiences also support their mental and emotional well-being — helping them relieve stress and take a break from the pressures of daily life.

Each year, our rooftop garden becomes a space where young people build skills, connect with others, and experience the rewards of caring for something over time. From herbs and vegetables to trying new planting techniques, young people see firsthand how patience and consistency can lead to meaningful results.

Jennifer Smith and David Bruzzese from ScottsMiracle-Gro recently shared their gardening expertise with young people at Covenant House. Watch as they pass along those same simple, practical plant-care tips to help your own garden thrive. Scotts Lawn CA Miracle-Gro Canada

After a difficult time in her life experiencing homelessness, *Laura found support in reconnecting with her Indigenous identity. At Covenant House Toronto, she was introduced to the Elder-in-Residence program – titled Mii Yoi Moon, which means in Cree “to have peace within and peace throughout.”

For the past several years, John Baker and Wes Grove from Mobile Arts Programming have been creating opportunities for young people at Covenant House to learn how to create music and build new skills. 🎶

Through these sessions, young people create music, learn about songwriting, recording, and audio engineering. That journey comes full circle at our annual talent show, Covey’s Got Talent, where they perform their songs and share their work with peers and staff.

Thank you, John and Wes, for helping youth explore their creativity. 💙

🌱 Planting season has officially begun at Covenant House Toronto!

It’s that time of year when young people head up to our rooftop garden help bring this vibrant space to life for another growing season.

More than just a garden, this space becomes a place to slow down, reconnect with nature, and build skills and confidence.

💙 Thank you, Scotts Lawn CA for helping us prepare the garden, sharing your knowledge, and generously donating soil and planters to set us up for a successful growing season.

🎥 Stay tuned for more updates.

Mentorship is about more than offering guidance. It’s about building trust and helping young people see their potential and imagine new possibilities for their future — and Bree is doing exactly that. 💙

As part of the Poy Family Mentorship Program, Bree was matched with her mentee several years ago and has since built a meaningful connection grounded in trust, consistency, and shared experiences. Through regular conversations and ongoing support, she has been a steady presence as her mentee navigates challenges and works toward personal goals.

In addition to her one‑to‑one mentorship, she also facilitates workshops focused on confidence, identity, and mental wellness. Through these experiences, she has seen firsthand how young people thrive when they are given the support, encouragement, and space to discover who they are and pursue what matters most to them.

Thank you, Bree, for supporting youth as they build their stable futures.

Throughout May, we celebrated Asian Heritage Month at Covenant House through a number of events to help youth and staff learn more about and honour the rich contributions of Asian Canadian communities across the country.

From educational opportunities and art workshops to mahjong night, trying different Asian cuisines together, and more, this month created space for meaningful conversations, shared experiences, reflection, and joy, while celebrating the diversity that strengthens our community every day.

Take a look behind the scenes at some of the moments we shared together. ✨

A day under the cherry blossoms at High Park. 🌸

At Covenant House Toronto, our team is always looking for ways to create opportunities for young people to pause, connect and experience joy outside of their day‑to‑day routine.

Recently, our team organized an outing to High Park so young people could experience the cherry blossoms at their peak — taking in the beauty of spring in the city and spending time together.

✨Experiences like these can be deeply meaningful, and offer a chance to slow down, feel a sense of belonging, and find hope as they move toward stability and their brighter futures.
