Our Work In Communities

All Kids Need:

  • strong, positive relationships with people who care about them
  • safe and caring places to live, learn, and play
  • opportunities to provide service to others, and learn and try new things
  • healthy habits
  • hope for the future

If we believe it takes a village to raise a child, then we need to accept our role as a villager. 

  • Smile at young people.
  • Learn their names and use them.
  • Teach and learn from youth.
  • Support the adults who teach, coach, mentor, and support young people.

Our approach is find their sparks, to support and nurture their strengths, to help minimize and reduce risky behaviours.

  • explore the importance of relationships
  • identify Social Emotional Learning (SEL) competencies
  • learn how our simple everyday actions have an impact
