About Us

Growing up for children these days isn’t easy. We see teens in society who struggle. As children mature and grow, in this fast-paced world, they can become strangers to themselves. The bewildered young person begins to ask “Who am I?”. Without strong identities they will be, or do, whatever they think others want. Parents often wonder, “What can I do?” Many work long hours or shift work, are single parents or have stepped in as primary caregivers. ? Seeing this, and having lived it ourselves, we at St. Andrew began to think “What can we do to help?”
As a result, we have developed an after-school program which we believe can change the trajectory of young people’s lives. “The Village Kids Club” is a secure environment where children feel safe, it provides an opportunity for those in grades 2 to 8, to learn great skills and be mentored by mature adults.
The Village Kids Club goes from February until the end of May. Girls Club Wednesdays and Boys Club Thursdays, 3:30pm-6:15pm. A nutritious dinner is included.
Some of the activities include:
Homework / School Project Help Etiquette & Protocols Baking / Cooking Scrapbooking / Drama / Jewellery Making / Sewing / Knitting / Crocheting / Woodworking / Prayer / Music & more!

BECOME A MENTOR
A mentor helps young people explore and discern the world in which they live, to do so authentically, with appropriate behaviours and morals conducive to building strong healthy self esteem.
This is an opportunity for you to make a positive impact in someone’s life, pouring the blessings of your life into ‘little lives’ and sharing from your experiences. As you connect and listen, you will help young people, along with us, learn what we learned along the way, including those skills and arts learned from older generations, skills that are being lost in today's fast-paced culture. Children will be better equipped to navigate through life and the issues they will face.
