The Mission

Our mission is construct a culture that lies upon the principles of love, respect, and faith. We believe that having a good foundation can uplift the community by teaching them both hard-skills and soft-skills which will in turn enable them to excel in our society.

The Need

Based on the 2016 census, Statistics Canada has shown that just under 30% of census families are run by a lone-parent. In these private households, more than 50% of people are earning less than $30k a year. Approximately 55% of those individuals have either not moved beyond a high school diploma or have even graduated at all. We believe that if youth are given the tools to be successful, they will more likely be encouraged to pursue higher education. By providing youth with arts programming through “Masterpiece”, we can demonstrate how students can use education to find opportunities to work in fields they enjoy.

History

In the Winter of 2020-2021, Masterpiece collaboratively delivered digital media courses, alongside the Vision Infinity project, on Hour Zero's external learning platform. The courses were offered to youth in the Greater Toronto Area. Vision Infinity was empowered by TakingItGlobal and funded by the Government of Canada.

Youth received coverage for digital media applications, web hosting and domain registration. New studio equipment was donated to a third-party non-profit corporation.

Youth received Adobe Creative Cloud single application plans, free web hosting and domain registration.
