In the heart of every young person lies the potential for greatness.
Our
Story
in a few words
The Canadian Foundation for Development and Empowerment (CFDE) strives to create immediate, long-lasting changes by assisting children, youth, and young adults to operate at their highest potential, both academically and socially.
The CFDE endeavors to free youth from social and financial barriers by providing school materials, information on community resources, counselling, and other personal support services in order to help those in need. Along with supporting students as they continue education, we also assist young people who have discontinued their schooling.
We aim to help students reintroduce themselves into school or provide them with resources to explore and begin vocational training.
We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.
Empowering youths to strive academically and socially to reach their highest potential.
The CFDE is determined to make positive and durable changes in the lives of Youths. Young adults, children, Immigrant families, and communities by promoting scholastic achievement and providing tools for academic success.
