ABOUT CAPITALIZE FOR KIDS

Our Solution: We provide pro-bono consulting services through our internal team of consultants to build capacity for child and youth mental health service providers. On some projects, we are also supported by top-tier consulting firms including Bain, Boston Consulting Group, McKinsey, MNP, Pemeco Consulting, RBC and Sia Partners.

Our Office

Our office is located at 120 Adelaide St. E. just steps away from King St. subway station and the Financial District. We work in an open concept office that is ideal for team collaboration and camaraderie. During COVID, we had been operating in a fully-remote cloud-based manner, but we have returned to our physical location on a hybrid basis.

A Day in the Life

It’s cliché, but incredibly true – no two days are alike. By the nature of the work we do, our days vary dramatically depending on the projects we’re working on and where in the process we are. Project planning, process mapping, facilitating workshops, developing work product, data management, business intelligence, analytics, and project delivery across advisory and technical delivery engagements could be the order of the day. You are always at the ready to examine data, processes, and technologies to evaluate the current state and critical problems for both internal business functions and external beneficiary projects. Your expertise will be used to research and make recommendations about training, equipment, and technology to improve operations. Create automated data reports to inform our business, including documentation, toolkits, and create FAQ guides where appropriate. Some weeks we’ll be heavily focused on identifying capacity opportunities with a beneficiary in their office, while other weeks we’ll be working closely with a pro bono consulting partner designing solutions. Other days are spent with our headphones plugged in, cramming through data analysis and sector research. If you’re someone who loves variability in your work and enjoys solving tough problems, then Capitalize for Kids is the perfect fit.
