Change Through Sport | Changer par le Sport

About us: The idea of Change Through Sport was conceived when the coaches for Toronto Blind Tennis and Rexdale Volleyball decided to join forces and amalgamate under a single organization with the vision of creating lasting impact and long-term capacity in both communities. We are an assembly of your everyday people who enjoy playing sports and making the world a better place. We believe that when sport is used appropriately, it can unite people, lower barriers to social participation, and increase development opportunities for everyone involved. At the heart of our work, we utilize sports to build-up the capabilities and capacities of each person be it a participant, volunteer, or founding member! We do this by: -lowering barriers to create equitable opportunities; -engaging and promoting active and healthy lifestyles; -fostering healthy, diverse, and inclusive relationships; -inspiring and creating new action and modes of thinking; -increasing communal ownership and leadership opportunities. We value collaboration, learning, honesty, experimentation, hard work, improvement, and having fun! By no means is our model perfect. We are continuously learning and reiterating our work to address the changing needs of our communities. Don’t be surprised when we attempt something outrageous!
