Launched in 2005, The Argos Foundation has established itself as a leading organization impacting youth in the Greater Toronto Area.  Through three main programs, The Huddle Up Bullying Prevention Program, The Level the Playing Field Program and The Youth Mentorship Program, we are impacting youth of all backgrounds through bullying prevention and safety, the benefits of dedication and extra-curricular activities, and the development of decision making and life choices.  The Argos Foundation is committed to eradicating youth violence as well as engaging in avenues that support youth empowerment.
