Our mission is to engage children as active agents of change; inspiring them to support other children in need through hands-on volunteering, fundraising, and entrepreneurship, while building values and skills that last a lifetime.

​​

​

We run three signature initiatives each year:

​

1. Got Your Back Winter Edition will take place on Saturday, February 20th, 2027 at the Beaches Recreation Centre (6 Williamson Road). Youth volunteers (approximately ages 4-15) will pack winter totes filled with essential cold-weather supplies for children in need.

​

​​

2. Got Your Back Summer Edition will take place in July 2027 at Beaches Recreation Centre (6 Williamson Road). Youth volunteers (approximately ages 4-15) will pack back to school supplies in backpacks for children in need that are currently residing at Red Door Family Shelter. Check back at the end of June for the exact date or follow us on Instagram/Facebook, or sign up for our newsletter to stay up to date. 

 

Spots are limited and will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. To reserve your spot, email us: beacheskid2kid@gmail.com. To help offset the cost of this initiative, we kindly invite participatns to consider sponsoring one or more backpacks. Each backpack costs $25 to fill with school supplies. While sponsorship is greatly appreciated, it is optional and not required to volunteer. 

 

3. Kids' Marketplace (Saturday, May 29th, 2027): A hands-on entrepreneurship fair where youth vendors sell their own products and donate 50% of proceeds to support kids in need.
