Avanda Cares

Support Our Vision

At Avanda Cares, our vision is clear: to close the gaps in Ontario’s child welfare system by creating safe, structured, and culturally affirming care environments where vulnerable youth can heal, grow, and thrive.

Founded in Mississauga by a team with deep personal and professional roots in the care sector, Avanda Cares is built on lived experience, frontline expertise, and a relentless commitment to social impact. Every program we offer—from residential care and foster services to life skills and vocational training—is designed to disrupt cycles of trauma, poverty, and instability for youth aged 12–23.

But we can’t do this work alone.

Why Your Support Matters

Ontario’s most at-risk youth are often failed by traditional systems. They age out of care without the resources, relationships, or skills needed to transition into adulthood. Many face homelessness, criminalization, and mental health crises. At Avanda Cares, we are working to change that narrative—one youth at a time.
