STREET TO TRAIL ASSOCIATION

Street to Trail Association works to connect youth experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity with outdoor education and job training in the Greater Toronto Area. The organization operates outdoor leadership programs that teach wilderness skills, environmental stewardship, and personal resilience while providing participants with certifications in areas like trail maintenance and outdoor instruction. By combining hands-on training in natural settings with mentorship and employment support, Street to Trail helps young people develop confidence and practical skills that lead to stable housing and sustainable livelihoods. Participants gain experience working on local trails and green spaces while building relationships with mentors and peers who understand their circumstances.
