Organizations Inspiring Us

Impakt Foundation is inspired daily by organizations doing transformative work in newcomer and community support. We look to these mentors as models of innovation, integration, and impact.

Foundry_logo_primary
Foundry is a province-wide network of integrated health and wellness centres for young people ages 12–24 and their families. By bringing counselling, primary care, peer support, and employment services together under one roof, Foundry removes the barriers that so often keep youth from getting help when they need it most. Their model of low-barrier, no-referral, wrap-around care mirrors the integrated approach we strive for in our own Integrated Newcomer Services model and continues to inspire how we think about mental health support for the newcomers we serve.
Storefront_Logo
The East Scarborough Storefront is a resident-led community hub in Toronto's Kingston-Galloway-Orton Park neighbourhood, where more than 35 organizations work side by side to bring settlement services, legal advice, youth programs, and community-building initiatives to one shared space. Their "one-stop" model rooted in grassroots leadership and genuine neighbourhood partnership reflects the same collaborative, community-first spirit that shapes Impakt's work with newcomers across the GTA.
