Our Vision

Our vision is to be a leading experiential learning charity, known for creating positive leadership and social pathways for children and youth to reach their potential.

Our Mission

Our mission is to support children and youth facing socio-economic barriers through experiential learning programs. Kids at Moorelands develop leadership, confidence, character and skills to strengthen their emotional and social well-being.

About Moorelands Kids

Since 1912, Moorelands Kids has been helping reshape the future for Toronto's kids facing economic barriers. We've changed and developed since our inception, and yet, making a positive difference in the lives of children and youth has remained our first priority. In 2023, we were once again rated a Top 100 Canadian Charity by Charity Intelligence.

We offer three pillars of support; after-school leadership programs — BLAST, LED and VITAL, for kids 6-18; Moorelands Camp, an amazing overnight summer camp experience for kids 8-16; and our Holiday Sharing for registered camper and after-school families. We work with over 1,500 children and youth each year and partner with 26 agencies to further our reach and our positive impact in the lives of children and youth who need us.

In Toronto, Moorelands Kids runs its after-school programs in the Toronto Neighbourhood Improvement Areas (NIA's) of Thorncliffe Park, Flemingdon Park, Humber Summit and Humbermede. Our after-school programs, offered in partnership with local schools and/or community groups, provide a supportive, nurturing environment with a focus on leadership and life-skills learning; healthy physical play; and homework help.

Moorelands Camp and Holiday Sharing are open to children from all neighbourhoods across Toronto.
