Mission Statement

Kids Now, through a volunteer-led group mentoring program, empowers youth in grades 7 & 8 living primarily in priority neighbourhoods with life-success skills to make positive choices to help them reach their full potential.

Kids Now is unique not just because we mentor today's youth, but because of WHAT we mentor. We actively teach kids key life-success skills at a critical transitional age. Before they may start to make bad choices, we mentor youth with these skills now.

Description

For over a decade, Kids Now has been inspiring leadership, building self-confidence, and coaching kids to make positive choices through free, in-school, after-school, group youth mentoring programs in. Created in 1999 by a Canadian educator who saw a need to complement the existing school curriculum with life skills development, the Kids Now program has made a meaningful, lasting difference in the lives of thousands of Canadian kids. Led by volunteer coach-mentors, many of whom are employees from leading companies, the Kids Now program features an educator-endorsed curriculum, which includes educational games, activities and group discussions that teach leadership, goal-setting, effective communication, positive conflict resolution, anti-bullying and other valuable life-success skills.
