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. Their
wisdom and creativity
creates a vibrant
future
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.
