ABOUT US
Our Community’s Future is Inside These Walls. Don’t Let the Lights Go Out.
In a bustling corner of Scarborough, there is a building that is so much more than bricks and mortar. It’s a second home. It’s a training ground for future leaders. It’s a sanctuary for seniors. It’s a classroom for parents.
It is the Scarborough Alliance Centre, and its future is in our hands.

THIS IS
Our Why
Youth Crime Prevention
In Toronto, youth firearm arrests have increased by 75% this year, highlighting the urgent need for intervention programs. The United Scarborough Initiative addresses this through structured activities like late-night basketball and mentorship, significantly reducing the likelihood of involvement in crime.
MenTal Health
Mental health challenges affect 1 in 5 Canadians, with youth particularly vulnerable. Our initiative incorporates mindfulness and resilience training to help participants manage stress and build emotional strength, ensuring they thrive both personally and academically.
Nurturing Talents
We believe every individual possesses unique talents waiting to be unlocked. Through our after-school programs, we offer opportunities for artistic, athletic, and academic growth, fostering self-confidence and creating pathways toward future success.
Physical Health
Physical activity is vital, especially as over 30% of Canadian children are overweight. Our programs, including basketball and fitness initiatives, encourage a healthy lifestyle, reducing risks associated with sedentary habits and promoting long-term well-being.
Life Skill Development
Life skills such as financial literacy, conflict resolution, and leadership are foundational for success. We equip participants with these essential tools, preparing them for real-world challenges and fostering independence through resume workshops and mentorships.
THE SCARBOROUGH ALLIANCE CENTER IS
A Hub For Growth & Hope
An environment where coaching becomes life-changing mentorship
Within these walls, the playbook is dedicated to building character, fostering resilience, and celebrating effort over perfection. It is a space intentionally designed to empower young people, proving their true worth is found far beyond the final score.
Designed to be a sanctuary, where safety and trust are the foundation of everything we do.
From the energy of the basketball court to the focus of a mentoring session, our first goal is always to build a genuine connection. We cultivate a community where young people can let their guard down, speak their minds, and feel a powerful, unwavering sense of belonging.
Why This Space is Our Lifeline
This facility isn’t just a location; it’s the heart of our mission.
Youth Mentorship
Accessible and reliable for families across Scarborough.
Empowerment Programs
We host basketball, mentorship, and senior programs all under one roof.
