Legacy One

What Legacy One does

Legacy One is a Saskatoon-based registered Canadian charitable organization (Charitable Number 70628 6937 RR0001) founded in 2010 that delivers arts-integrated mental health programming to middle and high school students. The charity combines spoken word poetry, music, media, and personal stories to address youth mental health challenges including depression, anxiety, loneliness, self-image struggles, and feelings of hopelessness. Programs are developed with an advisory input process drawing on counsellors, educators, parents, students, government officials, youth workers, therapists, and principals, and are designed for curriculum alignment with minimal facilitator preparation.

The product portfolio consists of three interconnected offerings: "The Beautiful Struggle Show," a one-hour live assembly combining spoken word, music, media, and personal stories; "FLIP-THE-SCRIPT," a one-hour follow-up workshop that builds on the show with practical resilience tools and a guided worksheet leading to a personal life mission statement; and "THE FUTURE BELONGS TO...," a 10-session virtual resilience program delivered via the Thinkific online course platform with 45-50 minute videos per chapter, interactive digital workbooks, and discussion prompts covering character development themes (Brave, Unique, Humble, Resilient, Grateful, Compassionate, Peacemaker, Fear Facing, Inspiring, Future Vision). Program showcase and demonstration content is hosted on a Vimeo showcase (ID 8418589). Live programs are primarily delivered in schools in the Saskatoon region and surrounding Saskatchewan, while the virtual program is positioned for global school availability.

Legacy One operates as a donation-funded nonprofit with three revenue streams: individual donations (including recurring monthly gifts through "The Legacy Village" at $100/month suggested and one-time gifts), corporate sponsorships through "The Village Square" in which businesses sponsor one or more schools, and direct school honorariums for live program delivery. In the 2023/2024 school year, 87% of funding came from sources outside school honorariums, indicating that program operations are sustained primarily by charitable giving rather than fee-for-service revenue. Across 10+ years of operations, the organization reports reaching more than 200,000 lives, equipping over 1,000 students with life mission statements, and operating with a headcount in the 1-10 range, with disclosed email contact ([email protected]) and a Saskatoon office at 101-733 Broadway Avenue.

Core offering

Legacy One is a Saskatoon-based charity that delivers arts-based mental health programs for students through three interconnected offerings: live school assembly performances (The Beautiful Struggle show combining spoken word poetry, music, media, and personal stories), in-person follow-up workshops (Flip-the-Script), and a 10-session virtual resilience program (The Future Belongs To with curriculum-aligned video content and interactive workbooks). The programs equip students with practical resilience-building tools, including personal mission statements, to address depression, anxiety, loneliness, self-image struggles, and feelings of hopelessness.

Product overview

Legacy One offers a portfolio of three interconnected mental health programs for students. The core offering begins with 'The Beautiful Struggle Show', a one-hour live assembly that uses spoken word poetry, music, media, and personal stories to inspire students. This is followed by 'FLIP-THE-SCRIPT', a one-hour workshop that provides practical tools for building resilience. The third component is 'THE FUTURE BELONGS TO...' Resilience Program, a 10-session virtual program with interactive videos and workbooks that builds on themes from the live programs. The programs are designed to work sequentially, with the show providing inspiration, the workshop offering application tools, and the online program delivering sustained character development through curriculum-aligned content.

Broad incumbents

• Panorama Education: Larger K-12 platform providing student success, SEL, and mental wellbeing software to school districts. Comparable in addressing student wellbeing in schools, but operates as a broad ed-tech platform with analytics and surveys rather than arts-based programming.

Regional players
