Reach a Child Through AfterSchool Programs and Camps

Safe spaces where children are known, loved, and introduced to Jesus.

Every child deserves a safe place to belong and people who believe in who they're becoming.

AfterSchool, thousands of children in Toronto Community Housing come home to empty apartments, unsupervised streets, and hours with no structure, no support, and no safe adult in sight.

These are the hours when children are most at risk. Many are navigating material poverty, broken families, and the message that they are on their own.

No child should carry that weight.

25+ Years of Safe Spaces Where Children are Known, Loved, and Able to Grow

We believe every child is made in God's image, with dignity, potential, and a story worth investing in. And we've seen what happens when a child finally has a place to belong.

We build relationships over the course of years and show up day after day as safe people in children’s lives.

What Your Support Makes Possible:
A Safe Place Every Day

AfterSchool
Programs

Five days a week, children in our communities have a place where they are welcomed by name, supported with homework, engaged in activities, taught the Gospel, and surrounded by adults who genuinely care about them. Programs run in Warden Woods, Mount Olive, and Glamorgan, three of Toronto's most underserved Toronto Community Housing communities.

Seasonal
Camps

Throughout the year, children participate in March Break and Summer Camps that take them beyond their neighbourhoods, offer new experiences, and help them grow in confidence, character, and faith.

The other girl is wearing a white t-shirt with colorful writing, gray shorts, and a beige cap. Other children and adults are visible in the background.

Safe People,
Not Just Safe Spaces

Every program is built on relationships. Our staff and StreetLeaders are trained, consistent, and committed. Many of them grew up in these same communities, which means the children they serve can see their own future in the people who show up for them.

You can be the consistent support a child is waiting for.

Give Monthly

A monthly gift provides a child with a safe place to be every day after school. Your support covers the cost of programs, staff, and everything that makes showing up possible.

$36/month supports one child in AfterSchool programming.

Volunteer

Show up as a safe person in a child's life. Whether you tutor, mentor, help at camp, or simply spend time with kids who need someone in their corner, your presence makes a real difference.

Your presence could change a child’s story.

Without safe spaces and supportive adults, children fill their after school hours with whatever and whoever is available on the street. This window shapes a child’s sense of identity, safety, and possibility. Many begin to believe the worst about themselves.

But your support helps change what those hours become.

A child is welcomed by name. A caring adult shows up. They discover they are capable, valued, and loved by God. And over time, they grow into leaders who restore the neighbourhoods where they grew up.

Your support helps turn the hours after school into the beginning of a child’s promise.
