The Learning Enrichment Foundation (LEF) is a Toronto-based organization that provides multiple services with a focus on skills training and economic development.

In the late 1970s, The Borough of York (now a municipality of Toronto) was going through a major economic downturn with closed factories, high unemployment, and vacancies.

In response to these circumstances, a group of community stakeholders formed a charitable organization which incorporated itself as the Learning Enrichment Foundation in 1978.

LEF started by providing multicultural theatre for children but quickly diversified into skill training and youth counseling.

In the early 1980s, LEF opened child care centers and launched employment services and skills training programs.

LEF provides a hearty soup lunch to all clients in the building every Thursday and to LINC nursery children (30 to 35) every day.

In addition, it runs a career exploration program, operates a resource center, and maintains a "windfall cupboard" that gives clothing for interviews.

The Quilt envisions a multi-use building, offering a vibrant streetscape with both the ground level and the first few floors as community space.
