Our Programs
Evolve Academy is a nonprofit organization that supports youth outcomes by enabling access to programs delivered through established partner organizations, including Evolve Camps, Evolve Tours and Cosmic Pro Scooters
Evolve Academy supports youth aged 7 to 18, primarily in Ontario and communities where access to physical activity and experiential learning opportunities is limited, with priority given to youth facing financial or participation barriers.
Youth Empowerment Focused Initiatives
Evolve Academy supports youth empowerment outcomes through partnerships with established program providers that use structured movement and experiential learning to build confidence, resilience, leadership, and self belief.
Example:
Through Evolve Camps, youth participate in action sport programs where they set personal goals, progress at their own pace, and build confidence through positive, coach led instruction. Through Evolve Tours, students take part in educational travel experiences that encourage independence, teamwork, and leadership in real world settings.
Mental Health and Wellbeing Focused Initiatives
Evolve Academy supports youth mental health and wellbeing outcomes through partner programs that emphasize physical activity, positive mentorship, routine, and social connection.
Example:
Evolve Camps programs provide structured, supportive environments that promote confidence building, stress reduction, and a sense of belonging through consistent coaching and group participation. Evolve Tours programs support wellbeing by helping students navigate new environments while being guided by experienced leaders in small, supportive groups.
Multiculturalism and Community Building Initiatives
Evolve Academy supports multiculturalism and community building by enabling access to partner programs that bring youth from diverse backgrounds together through shared experiences.
Example:
Evolve Tours programs bring students from different schools, regions, and cultural backgrounds together on domestic and international trips that encourage collaboration and cross cultural understanding. Evolve Camps programs similarly foster inclusive community by welcoming youth of varying skill levels and backgrounds into shared group experiences.
Partnership and Access Initiatives
Evolve Academy supports partnership and access initiatives by working alongside established program providers to reduce barriers and expand participation in youth programming.
Example:
Through partnerships with Evolve Camps and Evolve Tours, Evolve Academy helps support subsidy based access to programs that families may not otherwise be able to afford, increasing participation in confidence building and experiential learning opportunities.
Priority is given to youth facing financial barriers or limited access to recreational and experiential learning opportunities.
