History
Originally founded in 2002 and completely volunteer-based, PUYO continues to motivate youths to understand the importance and the impact one can make in the community through philanthropic means. The mission is realized through planning and executing small- and large-scale community initiatives, youth development programs, charity fundraisers and other such initiatives. To date, PUYO has fundraised over $65,000 for local charities and has grown from a small group of enthusiastic university students to over 100 students and recent graduates from across the GTA. Members range from 16- to 26-year-olds with diverse backgrounds and interest, all united under the belief that youths can leave an indelible mark upon society for the better. Dedication, spirit and philanthropy set the organization apart from other youth development programs.
