The Canadian Foundation for Development and Empowerment is an Edmonton non-profit working with children, youth, newcomers and low-income families.
CFDE helps children, youth and young adults reach their full potential, both academically and socially.
We work to remove the social and financial barriers that hold young people back, providing school materials, tutoring, information about community resources and practical support for the families who need it.
We support students who are in school, and we also work with young people who have left school, helping them return to education or find a route into training and work.
CFDE empowers children, youth, newcomers and low-income families by improving access to education, skill development, community experiences and practical support.
A community where every young person has a fair opportunity to learn, grow and succeed.
We help young people build the confidence and the skills to shape their own futures.
Everyone is welcome, whatever their background, income or first language.
Learning is the most reliable route past disadvantage, and we work to make it easier to reach.
We keep looking for better ways to create positive and effective learning experiences.
We are honest about what we do and accountable to the families, volunteers and donors who trust us.
We work alongside schools, agencies, faith groups and volunteers rather than apart from them.
We believe in the limitless potential of young people and choose to invest in them.
When youth are educated, communities benefit.

In the heart of every young person lies the potential for greatness.
