Toronto Kiwanis Boys & Girls Clubs

Toronto Kiwanis Boys & Girls Clubs is a leader in providing safe, supervised after-school care for children and youth. We serve two communities in Toronto’s inner-city – Regent Park and Trinity Bellwoods. Founded in 1920, we are one of the oldest clubs in the country and have served more than 50,000 children. Over the course of a year, we serve over 1,100 children and youth between the ages of 6 – 18.Our after-school programs run from 3 p.m -7 p.m., the time when the youth crime rate sky-rockets. Our Clubs offer children and youth a safe place to channel their energy and introduce them to challenging activities that encourage healthy living, personal growth, learning, and community involvement. Our programs focus on literacy & learning; nutrition & cooking; creative arts; physical activity; and personal development. When we work with young people and their families, we enable them to develop the life skills, knowledge and civic values essential to becoming healthy contributing individuals.A major key to our success is the quality and quantity of our youth leadership. We are the largest employer of youth in the downtown east. Part-time youth staff are our front-line mentors, supervisors and they provide valuable insights into the communities we serve.It is through the generosity of our supporters and community partners that Toronto Kiwanis Boys & Girls Clubs remains a “good place to be” for inner-city children and youth. We believe in kids, do you?
