The People Project was founded in 2008 as an active response to the systemic oppression and gaps we identified through lived experience and in close consultation with our Spectrum communities. We wanted to self-direct actions that addressed social and political barriers affecting Spectrum youth in Toronto and beyond. All of the work that we currently do has been seated in this knowledge and has been developed and implemented strategically to respond in ways that are holistic, sustainable and guided by principles of integrity, accountability, equity and love.

We are a unique organization providing programs, trainings and consultations for spectrum youth and allies that are developed and led by spectrum youth. Our work is based upon the belief that with critical thinking, creativity, conscious actions and cooperation we can effect resounding and meaningful change in our lives and communities.
