Program Results and Impact
Since 1912, we have transformed the lives of 136,875 children and youth.
Children and youth living with financial challenges face barriers that other kids don’t.
Moorelands Kids’ mission is to bridge the opportunity gap through skill-building experiences, empowering kids to realize their potential to succeed.
Our leadership programs, using the Moorelands Kids Habits & Qualities, offer year-round experiences where kids can learn, practise and benefit from valuable life and leadership skills. We empower children to succeed at home, at school, and in their communities.

Our Objectives
Moorelands Kids’ leadership programs for Toronto children and youth-in-need have four overarching goals.
Through fun programming based on a Positive Youth Development framework, we aim to provide Toronto kids age 6 – 18 with:
1. Youth develop self-awareness and confidence.
Youth learn new skills and build on individual strengths to become more self-aware and confident.
2. Youth increase resiliency and strengthen their mental health.
Through positive, intentional connections with peers and caring adults, youth increase resiliency and strengthen their mental health and wellbeing.
3. Youth develop their personal leadership skills.
Youth develop their personal leadership skills and are empowered to achieve success in their daily lives by applying the Moorelands Kids Leadership Habits & Qualities (which encompass respect, responsibility, ability to work in teams, communication, decision making and goal setting)
4. Youth are empowered to be future leaders and role models.
By strengthening personal leadership skills, youth are empowered to be future leaders and role models in their communities; be it their immediate circle or the community at large.
