Humber College Community Partnership Fund
The Humber College Community Partnership Fund (HCCP Fund) has been established to provide financial support for community projects that create educational/training pathways for local children, youth, Indigenous Peoples, newcomers and other equity-seeking groups in our community.
Projects funded through this initiative provide the opportunity for local community organizations to cultivate partnerships with Humber College faculties and administrative departments. Assistance is provided to develop your project concept and connect you with relevant stakeholders (if you do not have one) to support you in the writing of your proposal.
The focus of your project concept should be to contribute, in some manner, to increased knowledge/training, exposure and/or access to post-secondary educational possibilities for the target groups listed above. These might include pathways into education, training and/or employment and/or building the organizational capacity of community agencies who share this same focus. Humber student participation in projects is encouraged as this is an opportunity for them to build their co-curricular record.

Summer Math Head Start Program
The Summer Math Head Start Program is a six week program intended for marginalized youth in grades 8 and 9 to obtain access to math support in hopes of reducing the numeracy gap to better prepare them to enter high school.
In addition to supporting these youth with math support, Humber College will provide various activities for these students to experience the resources available to Humber students to open their eyes to the possibilities available to them. The goal of the program is to encourage students to engage in math learning, gain confidence in their abilities, and be exposed to higher education.
King's Court Basketball
King's Court Basketball is one of Peel/Toronto's fastest growing basketball leagues, offering adult and youth of both genders the opportunity to develop and showcase their athletic and leadership skills within the community.
In addition to the work of the basketball league, the program promotes the opportunities and benefits of postsecondary education, and helps develop the leadership, teamwork and life skills necessary for youth to be successful into adulthood and beyond. This is achieved through education advising, academic workshops, as well as a “College Experience Day”.
