How the Black Youth School Success Initiative is making a big difference in Black youth

A project out of the Peel District School Board's We Rise Together action plan, The Black Youth School Success Initiative brings together Black-led organizations, schools, and mainstream community agencies to provide support for Black youth in the Peel region. Delivered through a culturally appropriate lens, while understanding the lived experiences of Black youth, the program provides support in academics, mentorship, self-esteem and more. 

Senior Manager at The Black Youth School Success Initiative, Chenai Kadungure, opens up about the positive impact the program has made in the lives of kids in her community, plus find out how you can donate to keep supporting this incredible project. Watch the video clip for more information on how to get involved. 

When it comes to mental health, every action counts! Join the conversation on Bell Let’s Talk Day, January 26, and help create positive change for those living with mental health issues. For every text message, mobile or long-distance call made by Bell, Bell Aliant and Bell MTS customers, Bell will donate five cents to Canadian mental health initiatives. The same goes for every tweet or TikTok video with the hashtag #BellLetsTalk, watching the Bell Let’s Talk Day video on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Snapchat, Pinterest or TikTok, or using the Bell Let’s Talk Facebook frame or Snapchat filter. But that’s just the first step: Visit letstalk.bell.ca for more ways you can effect change and build awareness around mental health.
