iHuman believes all young people have gifts to share. In partnership with youth, we address their needs, support goals that privilege their voices, and amplify their creative expression.
As a leading non-profit organization dedicated to altering the trajectory of at-risk youth through wrap-around services, arts programming and mentorship, iHuman has succeeded in creating a holistic sanctuary that fosters growth, creativity, and resilience.
We support youth (ages 12-24) to navigate complex systems such as housing, transportation, mental health, justice, financial assistance and medical care and more.
Creating Hope and Opportunity for Edmonton’s At-Risk Youth
Since its inception 28 years ago, iHuman has stood as a beacon of hope in Edmonton, championing the cause of our city’s marginalized youth. We are deeply committed to fostering positive personal development and well-being for youth while driving meaningful social change.
Breaking the Cycle of Marginalization
The impacts of marginalization are profound, influencing the emotional, physical, and mental well-being of the youth we serve.
At-risk youth are often involved with Child Protection Services or entangled in the legal system, facing barriers that research has shown lead to a wide range of negative outcomes. iHuman’s mission, driven by the resilience and determination of the youth we support, is to harness the power of the arts as a catalyst for growth, inclusion, and acceptance. Our commitment lies in empowering youth with the skills and confidence to navigate their world, using art as a gateway to new opportunities and brighter futures.
Our vision ensures that every marginalized young person feels welcomed, connected, and valued. Without their wisdom and creativity, our future is less vibrant.
iHuman’s programs have evolved into a dynamic model of community care that adapts to the unique experiences and needs of marginalized young people, placing them at the heart of everything we do.
