Justice Fund's Yonis Hassan & Noah “40” Shebib on making Toronto safer for youth

The Justice Fund, which provides opportunities in the arts for young people experiencing poverty, announced partnerships on Friday with the Toronto Transit Commission, NBA Foundation, and the Toronto District School Board on initiatives such as promoting public art and safety on transit.

When youth are given the opportunity to thrive in the creative arts, under-resourced communities become less violent and it breaks the cycle of youth turning to crime, he added. There is also a $5-million initiative with the record label OVO Sound to support community events, as well as a collaboration with the TTC that will include streetcar wrapping promoting the “Culture Drives Social Change” campaign.

Shebib founded the 40 Foundation in 2019 to help youth affected by violence and also launched an initiative with the Justice Fund to allow youth to engage in music and STEM programs.
