Our Vision: An inclusive society where all children and youth have opportunities to thrive and lead.
Where it all started…
The JFL is a private charitable foundation. Our mission is “to support learning and leadership opportunities for marginalized children and youth that foster well-being, strengthen their agency, and empower them to transform their own lives and the collective future we share.”
“We believe that learning should be reciprocal and transformative. Listening and learning are the biggest tools towards creating change.”
— Marianne Larsen, President
Since 2009, The JL Foundation has granted almost $2.5 million dollars to over 100 different charities all across Canada.
Forging Ahead
In 2020, we undertook a strategic re-envisioning process for our foundation, to best support our grantees and create impact. We are pleased to share our 2020-2025 Strategic Plan.
