First visit to Level Ground in Fields Corner—and I left inspired.

This is my childhood neighborhood, and I couldn’t be prouder. The Summer Student Showcase was pure joy: youth-led stations, proud families, and nonstop smiles.

Big respect to Ali, the Level Ground team, and every student who showed up and showed out.

Nonprofits like this can’t do their work without #community partners, donors, and volunteers.

CBC discovered these groups were often training in gyms or martial arts studios that also cater to children and a diverse clientele.
