This years donation will be going to Youth Centres of Calgary & Umoja Community Mosaic!
Youth Centres of Calgary provides vulnerable youth aged 9-15 with a home-like after-school safe space. The program aims to help youth reach their full potential and break the cycles of poverty by offering nutritious food, homework help, technology access, social activities and positive connections. With donor support, Youth Centres of Calgary plans to open more safe spaces for communities in need.
Umoja Community Mosaic is a grassroots multi-service agency that offers underserved Calgarians access to supports and programs they wouldn’t usually have access to. The organization serves the community through five different programs: Soccer Without Boundaries, Mosaic Food and Nutrition Program, Thrive Education and Tutoring Support, Mosaic Wellness and Counselling, and our Community Connections Program.
Youth spaces are essential to health equity because they reduce barriers to care, provide safe and inclusive environments, and address the broader social determinants of health.
