Regent Park Focus Youth Media Arts Center is a youth driven, not-for-profit organization located in the heart of Regent Park, Toronto. Regent Park Focus is motivated by the belief that community-based media can play a vital role in building and sustaining healthy communities and seeks to increase civic engagement and effect positive change through youth-led media productions.
The program is aimed at marginalized and culturally diverse youth living in and around the community. With free access to media technology, participants work collectively to explore issues and develop resources that contribute to the health of their community and address systemic barriers to equitable social participation.
Regent Park Focus Youth Media Arts Center was established in 1991 as part of the Focus Communities Program, a provincial government initiative to promote health in vulnerable communities across Ontario. Regent Park Focus is sponsored by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH).
