Weston Frontlines Centre: Evaluation Report Year 1

Weston Frontlines Centre has collaborated with the Students Commission of Canada (SCC) to ensure that Frontlines continues to support and empower Black youth in the Greater Toronto Area. The purpose of this report was to evaluate the impact of programming on the lives of youth participants. For this evaluation, both quantitative (surveys) and qualitative tools (Head, Heart, Feet, Spirit) were used to evaluate the impact of their Culinary and Social Work Stream. The results showed that youth experienced personal growth and increased self-confidence, leadership, and community engagement. Following the program, youth said they felt more confident to apply their newfound skills in their future careers. They also said they were eager to become more involved in their communities and give back to help others.
