In 2008, Trafalgar became one of the first Montreal schools to participate in the Youth and Philanthropy Initiative. Funded by the Toskan Casale Foundation
and TD Bank Financial Group, YPI is a "school-based, community-focused,
hands-on program designed to actively engage youth in their
communities." The program is followed by Grade 10 students. Students learn about philanthropy and "best practices"
for charitable organizations. By the end of the course, students
understand the difference between a foundation and a charity, and also
learned how such organizations should run with respect to their
finances, ethics and accountability.
In May 2009, judged by a committee with a peer majority, the group representing "Share the Warmth" won the $5,000 prize for their charity. The students
all voiced the opinion that their participation in this project was
"life changing." The winning team of Clara McGaughey, Kayla Mannucci and Emma-Jo Morris travelled to Toronto in May to participate in the national awards presentations.
