Time4Change

On February 21st, 2020, 600 students will join forces at over 20 TTC & PATH locations to support Youth Without Shelter and shine a spotlight on Toronto’s youth homelessness crisis.

The 10th annual Time4Change is an all-day, youth-helping-youth initiative that will see 600 students and volunteers come together at over 20 of Toronto’s TTC stations, the PATH and high-traffic urban areas to inspire commuters with original theatre, dance, visual arts, music and spoken word performances that share the staggering realities of the youth homelessness crisis in Toronto.

The funds raised from Time4Change will support homeless youth as they strive for their educational goals, search for employment and find a home to call their own.
