Program Stats
Our model is proven – the majority of our graduates go on to post-secondary education.
We have served more than 2000 students since the program started in 2009.
Approximately 50% of students in Manitoba’s low-income areas drop out in Grade 9, but we’re helping change that statistic one kid at a time.
Each year we offer more than 1,000 small-group mentorship opportunities and nearly 200 community service, post-secondary and career exploration experiences for our kids.
We serve an average of 85 hot meals every evening and nearly 150 healthy snacks each day.
