Our three day schedule is jam-packed with brilliance stemmed from previous jams.

In 2019, eight strangers passionate about using design jams for good organized the first Toronto Jam for Good as part of the Global Jam. The event brought together 35 participants (with a 25-person waitlist), 22 mentors, six judges, nine speakers, and several sponsors. In 2020, a larger team attempted to host it again, but last-minute cancellations due to COVID-19 forced a pivot to an online event—before virtual events became the norm. After a two-year break, T4JG 2023 marked the revival of the event in partnership with Antler. In 2024, we collaborated with 1RG, and for 2025, the team is coming together once again to expand T4JG’s impact.

Note*: All free time inbetween schedule will be used for you and your team to keep developing the idea.
