Locating in the most vulnerable communities, we reduce the financial, physical, and emotional impacts of poverty for youth and their families; giving youth a chance to grow and succeed by providing a safe and inclusive space where:
Access: We believe that at-risk youth have the right to healthy ‘out of school’ support that sets them on a path to breaking cycles of poverty.
Youth Empowerment: We empower youth to contribute to their choices and wellbeing, to their family, and to their community.
Respect: We embrace the unique identities and experiences of all and model respect for self, volunteers, friends, and property.
Integrity: We value our position as a trusted grassroots community service, and we commit to accountability, transparency, and efficiency for responsible use of all our resources.
Our Vision
"Hi Jane,
Thank you for your kind words and unconditional support. Absolutely, parenting is very challenging and rewarding at the same time. I truly wish things go back to normal soon as it is very hard to keep a child busy and distracted during this time especially not having a car which makes it difficult for us to easily access resources but it's so generous and thoughtful of you to continue to help and provide food support.
We are very grateful for your help. Thanks so much."
