Reaching for Rainbows is a Prince Edward County-based registered charity dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing space every school year for 30 girls aged six to nine years old. 

In Hastings and Prince Edward County 2 out of 5 pre-schoolers are vulnerable in one or more areas of early development, especially physical health and mental well-being.  Reaching for Rainbows is a no-cost afterschool program, created in 2011 in response to these statistics. In our society today, young girls face unique challenges such as social media stresses, bullying, and socioeconomic pressures that can impact their emotional well-being and self-esteem.

Reaching for Rainbows empowers young girls in our community by providing:

• A safe and inclusive environment,
• Friendship and social skills,
• Emotional support,
• Self-discovery and personal growth.

With your support we can:

• Sustain and enrich our programming that includes yoga, reading, music, arts, cooking and sports,
• Ensure the girls receive healthy snacks,
• Invest in training and development opportunities for our staff and volunteers, to continue to provide high-quality care and support.

We understand that you receive numerous requests for assistance, but we genuinely believe in the impact of our work and the potential for positive change. To learn more and make a donation, please visit our website.

Thank you for your commitment to creating a better world for our community's young girls.
