Meeting Youth Where They Are

Success Beyond Limits (SBL) is a community based organization focused on education and reducing the impact of external factors that negatively affect the educational success of youth in the Jane and Finch community.

Youth Led, Community Based

Our focus, mandate and staffing are community based, community focused, and community empowered. Our programming stays flexible in order to respond to the voice of the youth and their changing needs.

We operate a six-week summer program that offers academic credits, mentorship, youth employment opportunities, enrichment activities, community engagement, and relationship building.

March Break Program

This program takes SBL youth on visits to a variety of workplaces across the city, where they can explore exciting career paths and connect with industry professionals.
