African Canadian Children Youth and Family Services formally known as Ease the Stress Children and Youth Services was established in 2007 as a unique way to create and enhance opportunities and experiences for young people and families. The aim was to promote and foster a positive relationship between young people and their peers in addition to strengthening, encouraging, and promoting self-respect and self-enrichment. We have been very successful in supporting young individuals in the community as they transitioned from adolescents to adults.

Our members work from a non-violent, anti-racism framework which is extremely appreciated by the people we serve. We continue to promote diversity and teach life skills to overcome all barriers. It is our belief that all communities benefit from the development of young people, and we feel that sports are a great tool for many of them to learn life's valuable lesson

Black people's lives, votes, mental health, and freedom from abuse, racism, discrimination and injustice MATTERS.
“There is no vaccine for racism.” —Kamala Harris
What is the Poet implying when she says "You may shoot me with your words, You may cut me with your eyes, You may kill me with your hatefulness, But still, like air, I'll rise." She is saying that even though she's facing discrimination she will still overcome it
