ABOUT US
WHO WE ARE
The Truly Alive Youth and Family Foundation Inc [TAYFFI] is a Saskatoon-based non-profit organization. Through an outcome-based approach, we provide services for at-risk youth and vulnerable families in order that they become engaged and contributing members of their respective communities.
Our programs and initiatives are targeted toward poverty relief, cross-cultural education/learning, and capacity building especially among youth and families from low-income communities, recent and new migrants, and others in dire need.
We believe that every human person possesses innate qualities and potentials that will blossom if given the opportunity to learn and apply their skills!
We are committed to enhancing individual responsibility, harnessing human potential, and promoting self-reliance among vulnerable populations.
Our Goals
Truly Alive Youth and Family Foundation will meet its goals by:
- Research and needs assessment on current issues and emerging trends in community development
- Strategizing ways to meet community needs in alignment with the TAYFFI governance and operational mandate, using human and capital resources – donations of money, time, influence, and knowledge
- Mobilizing and engaging communities members and allied organizations for action towards building a socially cohesive society
- Educating, raising awareness, and influencing public perceptions, and advocating for social engagement
- Working in collaborative partnership with community-based organizations, corporations and Government agencies for program support and resource sharing
- Maintaining trust, accountability and program focus
Our Mandate
Our mandate is to provide at-risk youth and vulnerable families with necessary training, tools and resources in order that they recognize themselves as valued and supported members of their respective communities.
They, in return, will give back to the communities that have so invested in them.
Why we need you
Everyone desires to be truly alive! Hence, a whole community must come together, through systemic collective actions, so as to effectively achieve desirable social change.
With your support as an individual, group or organization (government or private) TAYFFI will achieve its vision and mission, lifting up and empowering the underprivileged within our local community, and beyond.
MISSION
We aim to bring about concrete and genuine change by focusing our work on three main areas:
- Transition from poverty to possibilities
- Strong families, leading to strong community
- Empowering tomorrow’s leaders, starting today
VISION
- We recognize that we cannot reach everyone at once. However, through holistic developmental service to one, we hope to reach all… passing on the torch, one at a time!
