What We Do
As a coordinating body, Sandbox brings together researchers, governments, other non-profits and child and youth stakeholder organizations, as well as interested youth, parents and families.
Sandbox facilitates knowledge-sharing and resource-pooling, enabling Sandbox’s partnership network to carry out activities that are difficult or impossible to accomplish by one organization or individual alone.
