Chris Penrose (BA ’04)
Executive Director, Success Beyond Limits

Described as a “big-picture thinker with his feet (and heart) on the ground,” Chris Penrose has been working with youth in the Jane-Finch community for over a decade. As the Executive Director of Success Beyond Limits, he has had direct and positive impact on the lives of hundreds of youth in the community, drawing on his own turbulent adolescence to help them achieve higher credit accumulations, better attendance and higher grades than other students in their cohort. A regular invited guest on CBC Metro Morning, Chris has become an important voice in Toronto on violence, policing and community issues as they affect youth.
