About

How do you want your legacy to shine? Do you hope to support vulnerable youth in Canada? Create opportunities for young people and inspire brighter futures? Improve mental health outcomes? By leaving a gift to Shine Foundation in your Will, your legacy will continue to brighten young futures.

Shine Foundation changes the lives of young people aged 11-21 living with severe physical disabilities across Canada. Our Shine Experiences program helps youth become more engaged in their future by shining a light on their potential and creating opportunities for them to make the impact they strive for.

Our Impact

Our program focuses on the unique needs and aspirations of each young person we serve. These personalized experiences are customized by the recipient and brought to life by Shine’s dedicated program team. From meeting a hero, to adapted sports equipment, we encourage them to shine bright!

Shine Experiences help young people living with severe physical disabilities imagine new possibilities, inspire them to reach their future goals, and develop a sense of purpose that can last a lifetime. In fact, after their Shine Experience, many are inspired to turn their experience into potential careers or advancing their education. We strive to help young people discover a world where possibilities shine brighter.
