A LOOK INTO
THE YOUTH DEVELOPMENT FUND
We recognize that supporting youth at an early age is important for their development, and youth are less likely to need interventional support as they grow. We have partnered with several organizations with deep ties to community to help grow strong future leaders as they transition from high school to career.
This fund will support educational summer camps, weekend programs, dinners for homeless youth, post-secondary prep courses, anti-racism training, anti-oppression training, child and youth worker support, and alumni support and retention.
The Pinball Foundation provides the following support through the Youth Development Fund:
-
Summer camps for youth in low income communities with a focus on athletics, academics and leadership
-
Staff to support youth success at a homeless shelter
-
Monthly dinners and holiday parties at a homeless shelter
-
School programming designed to help students figure out their next steps after Secondary schooling
-
Office Administration for youth leadership programming
