POINT Mandate and the Purpose of the Resource Guide

P.O.I.N.T. Inc. (People and Organizations in North Toronto) is a long established grass roots organization in North Toronto. Our mission is to improve availability and increase awareness of social and health services in the community. POINT has been instrumental in initiating programs and organizations such as the children’s “Great Garden Adventure”, the Block Parent Program, S.P.R.I.N.T. (Senior People’s Resources in North Toronto), S.A.I.N.T.S. (Student Assistance in North Toronto) and The Anne Johnston Health Station. POINT also acts as a catalyst by putting people and solutions together. Our current areas of focus are: youth issues, newcomers to Canada and the North Toronto community, supporting individuals and families at risk, the vulnerable elderly and encouraging civic participation in the community.

The Student Volunteer Resource Guide is another POINT initiative. This guide has been created to provide secondary school students with a list of volunteer opportunities and contact information for agencies/organizations primarily in the North Toronto area. It should be noted that the volunteer opportunities listed in the guide are not the only volunteer positions being offered in North Toronto or across the City of Toronto. If your interests do not match the volunteer opportunities listed, you may wish to investigate other agencies/organizations on your own or discuss community involvement opportunities with your teachers, guidance counsellors, The Volunteer Centre of Toronto, or POINT.
