We offer programs in several key areas: We support children through our Before and After School program and our School Break Camps; we offer youth volunteer and leadership opportunities through our Intergenerational Programs; we support Indigenous Youth and Families through our Outreach and Support Program and we work with youth in our Employment Programs.

Thanks to RBC Royal Bank!

We are very luck to have support from RBC for our Healthy Kids Snack Program at our 4 Before and After School Care sites. For the next three years, we will be able to help families by offering healthy food choices in our program. It goes without saying that the kids are happy too!

People Say .
Our Clients Say
The Employment program helped me to begin building a professional network. I learned how to market myself, and I also learned that I have many transferable skills. Learning how to conduct myself during an interview, as well, has been helpful. The staff were professional, organized, and very easy to work with!

Success Stories
A child had been expressing low self esteem by saying things like “nobody likes me” , “I am bullied”, “kids make fun of me”, “kids think I’m dumb”, “no one wants to play with me”. They was nervous and often worried. After empowering them, putting them in a leadership position, building their self esteem, and allowing them to express themself, they are much calmer, often laughing and playing with others. They now enjoy coming to the Kids’ Club and seeing their friends.

Community Says
We have been a corporate partner with Connections for over 3 years. The work they do has been amazing, and we are always kept informed on the work they do and how our support makes a difference. Last year we were able to attend a stay in school awards ceremony and meet with over 30 kids that were helped by our funding and have stayed in school and have big plans for their future!
