About Moorelands Community Services
All kids have the potential to shine as leaders and achievers, but not all are given the building blocks needed to strengthen their skills and self-esteem. Since 1912, Moorelands has been reshaping the spectrum of possibilities available to kids from Toronto’s poor and under-served neighbourhoods. Established in 1912, each year Moorelands Community Services works with more than 1,500 Toronto children and youth affected by poverty, to provide them with positive and fun experiences to help strengthen their confidence, competence and character.
