Our Values
Play
We believe in the importance of play and recreation for healthy, holistic development of the mind, body and spirit. Social, emotional, and life skills strengthened through meaningful and enjoyable experiences can help you become a resilient, creative, curious and driven individual.
We believe enjoyment and choice open our minds and fun and laughter open our hearts.
Connections
A vital foundation of resilience is relationship. This is how we learn who we are and develop a sense of safety in this world.
We believe that a better future for all of us lies in our ability to be curious, to respect differences, and have the confidence to engage with each other.
​
Exposure
We believe that curiosity, inspiration and dreams for the future come from exposure to novel ideas, experiences and shared moments.
By feeding the mind and exposing what exists and what's possible, we can ignite a spark. Confident curiosity and creativity can unveil a child's uniqueness and signal to those around them how to nurture their potential!
Generosity of spirit
We believe that everyone can, and wants to, make a contribution to bettering this world.
We aim to break down barriers and create opportunities to experience the joy and personal value of giving and connecting.
A Youth Leadership programme empowering young people and creating opportunities for them to influence the future of their communities.
