Creating Equitable Opportunities for Underserved Youth
Many children face inequities in the education system every day—inequities that have only worsened since the pandemic. The Park Street Education Fund supports these students by providing high- quality, equitable education to help guide them to graduation. All donations will directly support youth from underserved communities by providing free tutoring, enrichment courses, educational textbooks, supplies, and activities, as well as covering operational costs.
Socioeconomic Barriers
49% of Canadian Youth face specific socioeconomic barriers that impact their chances of graduating from high school and pursuing post-secondary opportunities.
One Size Doesn't Fit All
Too often, students are forced into a one-size fits all program which few benefit from and alternatives come at a high cost. Research indicates that in Canada, high school dropout rates average 5–14% and increase to as high as 50% or more in
low-income communities.
Accessibility Limitations
One-third of Canadian households in low- income or rural communities lack access to laptops, internet connectivity, and personal learning spaces, and have limited or no access to social, developmental, and academic support.
