SMILES FOUNDATION

SMILES Foundation provides educational support and mentorship to youth in Thornhill and across the Greater Toronto Area who face barriers to academic success. The organization offers after-school tutoring, homework assistance, and one-on-one mentoring in core subjects like mathematics, English, and sciences. SMILES Foundation also connects students with academic counselling and helps them navigate post-secondary education planning. By pairing trained volunteer mentors with students who need additional support, the foundation works to strengthen foundational skills and build confidence in the classroom. The organization serves students from low-income families and those attending under-resourced schools, recognizing that access to quality educational support should not depend on family income. Through consistent mentorship and tailored academic help, SMILES Foundation helps young people improve their grades and develop the skills they need to succeed in their educational paths.
