PROGRAMS

Kiwanis Kids in Motion

In 2004, the Centre developed a social clubhouse atmosphere where youths with special needs between the ages of 9 – 13, could meet for a few hours, one night a week.  The program encourages positive transition into community based programs that understands the issues faced by youths with special needs.  The group promotes opportunities and experiences to develop needed social skills through fun filled leisure and life skill activities.

 

A newly renovated, accessible kitchen at the Centre is available to the youths.  The youths enjoy special evenings such as “Bring a Friend/Sibling night, “Midnight Madness” night and outings to the cinema.

The group is organized by two Therapy Assistants under the supervision of the Social Worker.
