Helping children and youth develop important values and life skills.

We provide skill-building after-school and weekend programs like art, soccer, cooking, music, and leadership development at local community centres.

About our Programs Our programs bring opportunities to learn and grow.

Our programs help kids change the way they look at themselves and the world around them.

 

We take pride in creating safe and inclusive spaces in our programs – encouraging participants with positive reinforcement, care, and continuity. Children and youth come to our STAR programs multiple times a week where they engage in constructive, positive, esteem-building learning experiences.

We work collaboratively with families through active pursuit; we contact every participant, encouraging them to return each week. We connect to families, building important trusting relationships and sharing knowledge about their child’s development.
