Our Framework: Empowering Change Through Awareness and Action

- Career Development Programs: We offer skill-building and empowerment programs in fields like Information Technology and Project Management to help new immigrants transition into successful careers in Canada.

About Us
Learn about what we do at Firm Voice Foundation
Firm Voice Foundation aka “Voice for the voiceless” is a non-for-profit organization established to address and cater to the needs of the vulnerable, voiceless, and oppressed in our community. There are individuals in our community that are under constant torture, torment, abuse, hunger, destitution, opposition, oppression, and deprivation that have nobody standing or speaking for them. Some have given up on their rights either ignorantly or under compulsion from the forces that keep holding them captive. These individuals include men, women, young girls, young boys, children, visible minorities, immigrants etc. To render our services to the community, we get involved in the following activities.
Relief for the Deprived
Organizing and distributing relief materials such as food, clothing, and shelter to those in need.
Youth Outreach
Identifying and supporting youth who feel isolated or marginalized, offering them direction and mentorship to prevent them from falling into negative behaviours such as substance abuse.
Promoting Integrity
Building trust within the community through responsible action, transparency, and keeping our promises.
Training and Education
Offering training programs and public lectures on sensitive issues like rights awareness and legal information, empowering individuals to take control of their lives.
Advocacy for Diversity and Inclusiveness
We champion the rights of every community member, with a special focus on the inclusion of visible minorities, particularly Black immigrants, African Americans, and African-Caribbean individuals. We provide information, shelter, and relief to immigrants as they settle into their new lives in Canada.
Teamwork and Collaboration
We believe that working together strengthens our foundation. We are open to partnerships with other non-profits that share our values and mission to make a collective impact.
