About Our
Organization

Direct Your Life Organization is a non-profit in Ontario run by mentors with lived experience navigating the criminal justice system. Our objective is to prevent incarceration and recidivism among at-risk youth and recently released people in the Black community. All members of our team are dedicated to empowering our participants by providing the tools and mentorship for success. DYL believes that people can recover, reclaim and transform their lives.
