Boyle Street Academy of Understanding
A community that learns together, grows together
The aim of the BSAU is to help foster compassion by teaching people about the lived experiences of poverty and homelessness and to help individuals build relationships across communities. By working together to build understanding, we work towards Boyle Street’s goal of a stronger, more inclusive city.
At the BSAU, we facilitate conversations that are needed for us to best support each other as neighbours and members of one shared community.
This program is designed to create lasting change and leave participants feeling empowered and inspired about the future of their community.
