Core Values

Inclusion & Opportunity
We strive to offer children and youth from all economic, cultural and social backgrounds access to the resources, supports and opportunities that will enable them to overcome barriers and achieve their positive potential in life.

Respect (& Belonging)
We provide a safe, supportive place, where every child is listened to, treated with respect and valued for her/his unique gifts. Our staff and volunteers model honesty, positive attitude, cooperation, respect for others, inclusion and acceptance.

Empowerment
We believe all young people can grow into responsible, contributing and self-reliant members of society. We place children and youth at the centre of clubs. Through adventure, play and discover, we encourage and empower them to develop healthy lifestyles, a life-long passion for learning, leadership and life skills and a sense of social responsibility.

Collaboration
We work together with families and volunteers in each community, in partnership with government and other organizations, to create healthy community solutions to providing children and youth with what they need for optimal development.

Advocacy
We have a responsibility to advocate positions and actions on behalf of children and youth that enhance their lives and allow their voices and ideas to be heard.
