KidStart Mentoring Program

Young men need mentors now more than ever.

In this TEDx Talk video, Matthew Jodouin shares how one mentor helped change the course of his life. His story is a reminder that one trusted adult can provide the connection, encouragement, and hope a young person needs to thrive.

At KidStart, we see that impact every day.

🎥 Watch the talk, then take the next step. Become a KidStart mentor and help a young person build confidence, resilience, and a brighter future.

🏆 Every athlete has a team behind them.
👉A coach. A mentor. Someone who showed up.

💙 At KidStart, we’re building those same connections for children in our community, helping them grow, belong, and believe in themselves.

June is National Indigenous History Month in Canada, a time to recognize, honour and celebrate the histories, cultures, languages, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples.

At PLEA Community Services, our commitment to reconciliation is ongoing. We are dedicated to being an ally in reconciliation by creating culturally safe spaces, listening and learning from Indigenous voices, and building meaningful relationships with Indigenous communities.

Throughout the month, and beyond, we encourage everyone to take time to learn, reflect, attend community events, and support Indigenous artists, businesses, and organizations. Reconciliation is not a single moment, it is a continuous commitment to understanding, respect and action.
