Why we built it
Every kid deserves a safe place after the bell rings.
Across Toronto, thousands of children spend after-school hours with nowhere to go. MrBeast’s foundation set out to change that with one bold idea: build the best youth centre in Canada and make it completely free.
- Free for every child aged 5–17 — no fees, ever
- Bilingual staff and programs in English and French
- Hot dinner served every evening
- Fully accessible building, steps from transit

Families say
A second home for the neighbourhood
My kids used to spend afternoons alone at home. Now they run to the centre after school and come home fed, happy and done with homework.
My son built a robot in the Maker Lab and now wants to be an engineer. Nothing here costs us a dollar.
The staff know every child by name. It feels less like a program and more like a second family.
