SECOND CHANCES. NEW POSSIBILITIES. STRONGER FUTURES.
Mayabel Movement International (MMI) is developing a community-based initiative designed to support Black youth and young adults in the GTA who are transitioning back into the community following justice involvement. We believe that a young person’s past should not limit their opportunities for the future. Through mentorship, education, skills development, employment pathways, and positive community connections, MMI aims to help young people build confidence, develop practical skills, and create a positive direction for their next chapter.
