Since 1993
The Vancouver School Board, in collaboration with a core group of supporters, established KidSafe in response to a community tragedy that highlighted the crucial need for a safe space where children could go when schools were closed.
Supporting children in need
Our mission is to provide a nurturing, caring environment for children who need it most.
Our vision is a city where all children and youth feel seen, heard and have a place to thrive.
The reality for many children in Vancouver is that school breaks are a time of heightened uncertainty. We operate during winter, spring and summer breaks, and after school, providing children facing adversity with safety, educational programming, place-based field trips, delicious meals, unlimited snacks, and more! All of our programs are led by an incredible team of trauma-informed sessional staff.
