Today is #Time4Change Day, where 600 students and volunteers are taking over 27 of Toronto’s TTC stations, PATH locations and high-traffic urban areas to raise $101,000 for Youth Without Shelter (YWS), an emergency residence and support house serving 1,000 homeless youth in the GTA annually.
From 7 am to 7 pm, the 12-hour, Toronto-wide student art activism event will see students and volunteers collecting spare change and TTC fare to support transportation costs and essential programming at YWS. Students will perform theatre, dance, visual arts, music and spoken word to convey the staggering realities of the youth homelessness crisis. (Youth between the ages of 13 and 24 make up a shocking 20% of the homeless population in Canada.)
If you’re not going to be at any of their locations today, you can text CHANGE to 45678 to donate $10 to Youth Without Shelter.
