ABOUT US

Since its inception 25 years ago, Aishel has served as a lifeline communal institution and a vital resource for adolescents, young adults and their families, serving the full spectrum of the Greater Toronto Jewish community.
With a broad array of innovative programs and professional services, Aishel is successfully stemming the tide of many teenagers and young adults who are falling prey to emotional crisis, addiction, substance abuse and the many trials of growing up in a challenging world.
Aishel’s targeted programs for boys and girls are designed to support and uplift teens and pre-teens through a variety of engaging, rewarding and confidence building activities. Aishel’s programs have proved that the rewarding experience of fulfillment, productive achievement and genuine acknowledgement can help our youth overcome the most overwhelming challenges.
In addition to their intrinsic social and emotional value, each program serves as a venue for mentorship and direction, through which participants connect with our staff. This relationship is key to Aishel’s success in prevention for at at-risk teens and integration for youths on the fringe. In some cases, it provides a crucial referral point for initiating professional, mental or emotional services offered through its affiliated network of behavioral health practitioners.
