What We Offer
Students attend Wayfinders after school several times a week and some weekends. Here, they work with our team to build study skills, contribute to their communities and discover their passions in a safe, welcoming environment.
Ultimately, they receive the personal, academic and financial support needed to make successful transitions into post-secondary education.
As part of the program, every Wayfinders student receives:
- A Student Parent Support Worker who works with them and their family as an advocate at school and the program, encouraging them to achieve their academic and life goals
- Homework support from a network of subject-specific volunteers, who work with them to improve achievement and explore new interests
- Encouragement to invest in themselves through new life experiences
- Opportunities to participate in activities that give back to and strengthen their communities
- On-site daily food program
- School supplies
- Mentorship opportunities and workplace experiences
- $400 per year towards passion and talent development such as arts lessons, athletic equipment or fees, workshops and camps
- $1000 per participation year (to a maximum of $4000) held in trust for education/post-secondary expenses after high school graduation
Quality education and extracurricular involvement come at a cost – we work to lessen that load for families who may not otherwise be able to provide such opportunities to their kids.
