About Us
We’re rewriting the story of how a non-profit thinks, acts, organizes, and moves; putting young people and youth culture at the centre of our approach.
From the beginning, Kickback has approached youth not as problems to be solved, but as humans abundant in skillset, filled with potential, creative in nature.
How we work
We don’t run programs. We build communities.
We fundamentally believe that the deepest impact starts through building trust and true connection. Showing up is more than just being there to run a program. It’s a commitment to each other, to the youth with serve, and to the futures that await them.
Our Core Team
Kickback, based in Toronto, is run by artists, athletes, social workers, & community leaders who grew up in the same neighbourhoods we now serve. Together, we design and deliver programs and experiences, doing our best to show up consistently for youth, and ensure they can show up as themselves.
Board Members
Our board of directors brings together leaders from sport, business, and community work to guide Kickback’s mission and long-term vision.
Over the years
Catch a glimpse of the community at work.
All around Toronto, and across the world, Kickback has helped make dreams come true for youth.
Here’s just a preview of some of the moments we’ve shared along the way.
FUEL OUR IMPACT
The next generation is waiting for someone to see their potential, and invite them to step into it. Will you?
