FERN is a not-for-profit community organization offering mental health and wellness counseling, social programs, school advocacy and academic remediation for families in York Region.
As a not-for-profit organization, we are concerned with generating enough revenue to provide support to our community. Any money made by a FERN is not for the personal gain of the FERN founder, team or board, but goes back into the organization to further our aim to provide specialized support and services for families.

The Kind-Hearted Oak Program is a paid internship opportunity for youth to expand their leadership skills and work on projects that bring them joy and passion. Created in memory of Sam Cesaroni, this program is made possible through donations to FERN. Please feel free to share this widely, as we would like to reach many of our young people.

Although as a not for profit we are able to give receipts to donors for business reasons we are not a registered charity therefore these receipts are not tax deductible.
