The WITS Foundation empowers children and youth across Canada—and increasingly around the world—to build safer, kinder, and more inclusive communities. Through our nationally recognized programs such as Pink Shirt Day Canada, Canadian Kindness Leaders, Pink Shirt Project, and most prolifically the WITS Program, we equip schools and families with practical tools to prevent bullying, promote kindness, and foster respect for diversity. Our evidence-based resources reach hundreds of thousands of students in every province and territory, and are now being shared internationally, inspiring young people to lead with empathy and courage wherever they live and learn. Support us in building a world free from bullying and discrimination.

The WITS Foundation creates and delivers school resources and other initiatives that create safe, supportive environments for children and youth. Become a donor to support these transformative changes that reduce discrimination and bullying.
