Closer to Home is raising critical funds to support our youth mental health programs — and thanks to Rogers Birdies for Kids presented by AltaLink, every dollar you give will be matched up to 50%. That means your generosity goes even further to help children and youth build resilience, foster connection, and achieve their goals.

Your gift today will help fund life-changing programs, like our year-round mental health supports and our free Summer in the City day camp, providing young people with safe spaces to heal, grow, and thrive.

Every summer, Summer in the City opens its doors to children ages 7–14 from families facing financial and language barriers, and who may have limited access to community resources. Through this program, kids learn essential life skills — like teamwork, communication, inclusion, and self-confidence — in a fun, supportive environment.

Campers take part in recreation and group activities, build meaningful friendships, and explore our city through exciting field trips to places like the Calgary Zoo, the Glenbow Museum, and more!

With your support, we can give more kids the chance to experience a summer full of joy, connection, and growth.

Donate today and double your impact!
