Monetary Donations / Investments
By supporting a youth-based not-for-profit charitable organization, you’re investing in the future of our community and helping shape the next generation.
Donations allow the agency freedom to support the growth of programs, provide essential needs to the many youth who are lacking, and create long-term sustainability.
The benefits of your donation start with the youth and works its way up to the community. Youth are empowered through mentorship and the development of interpersonal and life skills; The well-being of youth improves when they have opportunity to address mental health, trauma, and substance abuse; They experience inclusivity, the relief of being heard, and the equally important act of listening and developing empathy. The community feels the impact of promoting social cohesion and community engagement, and the development of future leaders and change makers.
For example:
A $5 donation provides a youth in need with food items in their essentials grab bag
A $100 donation provides one youth with adapted programming for those with identified/different learning needs.
The possibilities are never limited by the passion and drive of the staff, only by limited resources.
Donations can be made online via Canada Helps, or by reaching out to our CEO Kelly Nolan (Meet the Team for contact information).
