Yolanda Ding

Scarborough, ON

My name is Yolanda Ding and I am a community leader in Scarborough, Ontario. I am passionate about education and empowering young students in their learning journey. I also enjoy working on building inclusivity in my neighbourhoods, especially by raising social awareness for those with developmental disabilities.

Sweet Spring Cares

My project, Sweet Spring Cares, is a care package program that provides resources to elementary-school students and their families in lower-income communities in Scarborough. These packages include stationary items, empowering prompts/activities, and more. The intention is to motivate students through their learning journey with fun and hand-made designs, as well as provide some financial support to parents by reducing education-related costs of school supplies.

About this Project

Communities Served

My project will involve and/or impact the following communities:

  • At risk youth & children
  • Refugees & newcomers
  • Persons with disabilities
  • Multi-barrier populations

United Nations Sustainable Development Goals

When it comes to community impact projects, the UN has created 17 Sustainable Development Goals. These are the Sustainable Development Goals associated with my project.

  • SDG 10: Reduced inequalities
  • SDG 12: Responsible consumption and production
  • SDG 17: Partnerships for the goals

How the project works

June: Design, Order, and Create all supplies that belong in the care package. July: Advertise and raise more funding to support more neighbourhoods. August: Implement and deliver all care packages into selected community.

Project Impact
