Announcing Michael Ma as Executive Director
Go Green Youth Centre is pleased to announce the appointment of Michael Ma as its next Executive Director, effective immediately.
Michael brings a wealth of experience in community engagement and youth development. His journey with Go Green Youth Centre began as a basketball coach when he was a Grade 10 student at Marc Garneau Collegiate Institute.
Over the years, Michael has worked for GGYC part-time year-round and full-time during our summer programs, deepening his commitment to supporting young people. He has also served as a Supervisor for the Toronto Foundation for Student Success Beyond 3:30 program at Valley Park Middle School.
Michael is admired for his dedication, leadership, coaching, and mentorship skills, which have profoundly shaped our organization’s culture. He is deeply respected for his unwavering character—his personal courage, kindness, empathy, and belief in the potential of others.
His impact is felt by all volunteers, coaches, participants and parents. He has built strong relationships with many members of the community.
In his new leadership role, Michael will focus on strengthening partnerships, expanding program offerings, and ensuring the organization continues to empower, educate, and elevate children and youth.
We are incredibly grateful for Michael’s willingness to fulfill this role, the trust he has earned, and the positive change he has fostered within young people in Thorncliffe Park, Flemingdon Park and beyond.
"As a proud former student of Valley Park Middle School, I’m honoured and humbled to now be in a position to give back to the community that helped shape me. I understand the challenges many our youth face, and I’m committed to continuing the work and making a positive difference." – Michael Ma
