We are supporting both local and international initiatives. Local: we support Big Sisters of BC Lower Mainland, which provides essential mentoring to young women in the region, the Bruce DeHart Bursary,to help college students in business programs. We also support other local initiatives, such as feeding the homeless in the downtown Eastside. International: We support Free the Children's school- and community- building projects, and are currently focusing on raising funds for the Secondary School for Girls in the Masaai Mara region. We also support World Vision and are involved in other international initiatives on a less regular basis.

We work to build the resiliency of adolescent youth who have encountered a crisis in their education – a crisis that often has deep roots outside their schooling: in poverty, racism, mental health, youth criminal justice involvement, violence in the community and substance use. But youth are much more, and much more promising, than this list of challenges. We resist the “deficit model” that views youth as problems. We cannot remove the risks that have had an adverse effect on the lives of youth who come through our doors. We CAN provide relationships and experiences that reduce the impact of this adversity. Resiliency means that youth can bounce back from the current crisis, and be more resilient in meeting future challenges. Our programs -- School Away from School, Wraparound, Moms Group, Music Studio, Youth Outreach -- all support youth's resiliency in setting and supporting goals for healthier more stable futures.
