A couple of years ago, I was approached by a school guidance counsellor. She was concerned about four youth who were getting into trouble at school. The counsellor felt that without some guidance and constructive activities, the kids would end up getting into more trouble.

We set the kids up with Strong Kids subsidized memberships and got them involved in some YMCA programming. Since then, their grades have improved, along with their behaviour at school.

Having someone care about their well-being and having constructive Y programs to focus their energy on has had a huge impact on these four kids.
While my story is about these four great kids, know that there are many more in our community who need our help. Please join me in helping our kids by clicking on the donate now button on this page.
