FOUNDATION RESULTS
Batshaw Centres clients are supported in several
important ways by the Batshaw Youth and Family Centres
Foundation. Members of the Board of Directors dedicate
themselves year round to raising the necessary funds, as
they have done since 1977. The foundation’s goal is to
provide “pillars” on which futures can be built for
youth and families. The Pillar programs support:
| |
• |
Access to tutoring, therapy, cultural and sports
activities (69);
|
| |
• |
Activities that teach leadership skills and
build confidence (22);
|
| |
• |
Skill development programs; material and
financial support to help older adolescents with
limited or no family assistance prepare for
adulthood and independent living (29);
|
| |
• |
Post-secondary education and job training (56);
|
| |
• |
A camp experience in a lakeside setting at Camp
Weredale (250);
|
| |
• |
Urgent material assistance enabling families to
keep children at home under safe circumstances.
