Upfront Theatre started in September 2000 as a student based drama club at York University that has now grown into a service learning non-profit organization serving children, students, youth and women in the Jane and Finch community and surrounding areas. The mandate of Upfront Theatre Foundation is to organize and produce cultural, educational and social programs using the arts and multi-media to sensitize the society to the serious social problems afflicting children and youth in the community.
