The Canadian Foundation for Development and Empowerment (CFDE) empowers youth to reach their full potential by removing social and financial barriers. We provide school materials, community resources, counselling, and personal support, helping students continue or return to education and explore vocational training. CFDE promotes STEM/STEAM education, encouraging young people-especially young women, Indigenous youth, and those who left school-to pursue careers in rapidly evolving fields. We also foster youth engagement in the Arts, recognizing its power to inspire joy, creativity, and social change. Through arts programs and youth-adult partnerships, CFDE helps young people express themselves, build community, and drive positive transformation.
