So many of us remember the joy of being invited to a birthday party or spending a day outdoors with friends—but for many youth with disabilities, those moments of belonging are too often out of reach.
That’s something we’re working to change.

Through our Amigos programs, we’re creating spaces where everyone is included, celebrated, and free to just be themselves. From unforgettable Camp Kawartha days to our annual Amigos Birthday Party, these experiences are filled with laughter, connection, and joy.

Last year alone, more than 140 youth joined us for these special moments of belonging—and we’re just getting started.
Because every young person deserves to feel included. Every young person deserves to celebrate. 💛

Help us secure another 25 years of belonging and inclusion for youth in Peterborough by donating today! Head to: https://www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/heads-up-for-inclusion/ to donate today, or become a Belonging Builder by setting up your monthly donation.
