ABOUT SPRINGBOARD

MISSION, VISION & IMPACT

Unleashing the power of your potential

As a trusted leader in supporting vulnerable youth and adults, Springboard has evolved into a recognized multi-service organization committed to leadership and innovation. Today, we offer a wide range of services, including support for people with developmental disabilities to live independently, employment training and support for those facing barriers, justice services for youth and adults in conflict with the law, and our digital learning platform – the Community Learning HUB – which provides accessible training for youth and adults across Canada.

MISSON

Springboard provides quality services that support individuals facing barriers to lead meaningful and fulfilling lives.

VISION

A future where every person is valued and achieves their full potential.

HISTORY

It Started with a bus route

Springboard was formed by volunteers and former offenders to assist in keeping families together during a period of incarceration, primarily through transportation and counselling. 

Springboard was incorporated in 1974 as a non-profit charitable organization and has since evolved to provide a diverse range of services. Recognizing the need for support for people with developmental disabilities, Springboard began offering housing and programs that foster capacity-building and independence. Services expanded to provide employment programs for youth and adults facing barriers due to conflict with the law, new immigration status, or the need for new skills. The organization has since developed the Community Learning HUB, a digital learning platform featuring educational modules used by organizations across Canada.
