We offer life changing programming for children and youth. #greatfuturesstarthere

2020 has been a tough year for families and commun

2020 has been a tough year for families and communities on PEI. There has been so much, stress, uncertainty, and isolation. And there are many amazing individuals, groups, and organizations working to support the most vulnerable, especially at an already tough time of year for many. This #GivingTuesday take a moment to find out who is working to support those who need it and see how you might help.

At the Boys & Girls Club of Charlottetown we are working towards our goal of sponsoring 20 children and youth this Christmas through our Holiday Hamper Program. We are just about a quarter of the way there!

The Holiday Hamper Program provides everything a family needs for the Holiday's including gifts off their children's list, and necessities like toiletries, winter gear, and gift cards for food.

Christmas can sometimes be challenging for many families. This year, that stress is compounded by the stress of COVID-19. If. you would like to help you can make a donation on our website by clicking the link in our bio

One of our Pillars of Member Engagement is Health

One of our Pillars of Member Engagement is Health & Wellness and we are always looking for creative and unique ways to encourage physical activity, healthy eating and mental health.
.
Our @ctjumpstart Yoga for Youth Program introduced our members to a different kind of physical activity.
.
Many eagerly participated in this program each week with several kids trying it out for the first time!
.
This program was an excellent opportunity each week to stretch the body and slow the mind. .
We even got to visit a real yoga studio, our neighbours @stride.pei The experience was super memorable for those who had become practiced yogis over the course of the Yoga for Youth Program
.
Thank you to @ctjumpstart for making this program possible, our staff Maria for facilitating the amazing yoga sessions and to Mel at @stride.pei for hosting us at the studio for two incredible classes!

One of our Pillars of Member Engagement is Educati

One of our Pillars of Member Engagement is Education and Skills Enrichment. We often talk about this in terms of our Literacy and curriculum based programs but ESE goes beyond these traditional ways of learning and development.
.
A few years ago we developed a partnership with Geneva Villa, a local Seniors Home just a short walk from our Clubhouse.
.
We have visited the home on several occasions. Made cards for the residents on Holidays and even gone caroling to the home at Christmas.
.
This year, our older group started visiting the home twice a month. They take a box of games, cards, and crafts to do with the residents.
.
The visits are helping our members develop conversation skills, increasing their confidence in their abilities, and giving them an opportunity for intergenerational learning.
.
The visits also give the residents some important social time.
.
Thank you to Geneva Villa for this valuable partnership!
