Are you stewarding a community?

YouthCAN Conference is a transformative three-day experience designed to foster friendships and connection among youth in foster care. Hosted by OACAS, Reset was invited to the 2024 conference to create an immersive world built for social health—where young people could practice belonging, strengthen relationships, and engage in experiences designed to nurture connection. We’re excited to continue this work in 2025, once again creating a space where youth can feel seen, supported, and part of something bigger.

Wonderful is an immersive playground designed in collaboration with RebuildTO to build relationships with space and create the conditions for a playful community. Selected as a winning project through YZD’s Beyond the Tarmac competition, Wonderful will come to life as an international experience for one weekend in April 2025. Blurring the lines between art, play, and social connection, this pop-up world invites people of all ages to explore, interact, and rediscover the joy of shared experiences.

You Ok Mama? is a radical rest retreat that we co-created in partnership with Black Moms Connection, offering Black mothers an intentional space to pause, exhale, and reconnect with themselves and each other. Through nourishing meals, reflective gatherings, and moments of stillness, we create the conditions for radical rest as a form of care and resistance.

Deescalating Conflict in Community is a workshop series designed to equip individuals and organizations with the tools to navigate tension, repair relationships, and build stronger, more care-full communities. Rooted in Reset’s approach to social health, these workshops create space for participants to practice skills like active listening, boundary-setting, and conflict transformation. In a world where division is growing, we believe conflict is inevitable—but harm doesn’t have to be.

Reset’s Community Living Room ran for three years in Little Jamaica, offering an antidote to loneliness and a place to practice being together. Born out of the pandemic, it was a bold experiment in re-learning social skills, testing new ways to foster connection, rest, and belonging. More than just a space, it was a living prototype—challenging the norms of public spaces by prioritizing presence over productivity. While the physical location has now hibernated, its impact continues. In 2025, we’ve begun popping up Living Rooms in new places, bringing the essence of this work to more communities in need of deeper connection.
