Mission
UNITY is a youth led anti-violence charity dedicated to showing youth between the ages of 13 and 26 how using positive forms of artistic self-expression leads to making positive life choices making our communities stronger and safer.  Through our performance driven programs and events we display the possibilities of positive self-expressions to help boost the self-esteem of youth while steering them away from violence, racism and other negative expressions.

We focus on turning negative situations into positive opportunities for creative expression.  For example, we show how Hip Hop, an often negatively portrayed subculture, is actually one of the most positive creative outlets available to youths.

Our feature program is a high school outreach program called "Hip Hop Away From Violence" which reaches over 15,000 youth per year in and around the city of Toronto.
