IT’S TIME4CHANGE
For the past 12 years, YWS has hosted our annual Time4Change fundraiser across the city of Toronto, working alongside our community partners in an effort to educate Toronto students about youth homelessness through fundraising and art activism. For the past 2 years, due to the pandemic, we hosted Virtual T4C experiences showcasing a variety of artwork advocating change to help support youth experiencing homelessness.
As we move into our 13th consecutive year of our Time4Change campaign, we continue with our Art Activism Gallery and Showcase to raise awareness and funds for the youth we serve here at YWS. Artists from our community can submit artwork to be featured in our T4C Art Activism Gallery on March 21, and/or join us to perform in our Showcase to help bring awareness to youth homelessness and inspire our community to #MakeChangeHappen.
What is Art Activism?
Time4Change is where ART meets ACTIVISM. We come together to combine the creative and emotional power of the arts with the strategic planning of activism in hopes to bring about social change.

Let’s raise $100,000 and end youth homelessness!
Over the past 12 years of Time4Change, we have been able to raise over $1,000,000 to support our youth on their journeys to reach their individual potential. Our goal this year is to raise $100,000 to go towards funding our Emergency Residential Program at YWS.
