Thirteen years ago a seed was planted. It was the seed of the Enable Tree that would grow bit by bit into the tall, healthy tree it is today. It is strongly rooted in our community and the Enable Tree supports many different creatures and plants who find shelter and nourishment in its branches. But, as we all know, trees need water, food and sunlight to grow. Every year we ask you to help us take care of this tree and all its creatures. We ask you to pick up the watering can and help us grow.
Every year the Enable Program for Children and Youth helps over 250 children and youth by providing academic support, social activities, and safe places to express themselves and build new skills and self-confidence. The Enable Program is growing rapidly, with more participants and new services every year. Our programs include art therapy and English language support for children, tutoring services, a weekly Youth Activity Night, a new youth-led theatre project and our ever-popular Youth Strides Summer Camp.
We need your help to make newcomer children and youth feel at home in Canada.
Whether you can donate $2, $10, $100 or more, what you give makes a difference! Your support will help us reach our goal of $5000 by March 31, 2011.
$10 buys snacks for the Homework Club
$50 buys snacks and supplies for Youth Activity Night
$200 is enough for a whole month of Youth Nights, Homework Clubs and English classes
$500 sends a youth to our Youth Strides Summer Camp
Your donation will buy a leaf for our Giving Tree, located in the VIRCS office. Each week the leaves will grow and the progress will be posted here on our website. Make your donation in person at VIRCS or Donate Online!
Thank you for helping our Enable Giving Tree grow!
