What a wonderful evening celebrating with the Winnipeg Foundation and the 2025/2026 Youth in Philanthropy event! Felisha, SRWC's Women in Continuing Recovery counsellor, attended and reported a moving and inspiring evening featuring a fantastic dinner.
There were inspiring speeches from YIP students, alumna, 1 Just City's Community Development Lead, Harvey Heather, Winnipeg Foundation's President and CEO, Sky Bridges, and Senior Youth Programming Officer Daniel Reimer.
It was a pleasure to connect with new organizations and our friend and Chaplain Sam from the Salvation Army over dinner and conversations with Youth in Philanthropy students, Yippers!
A big thank you to the students at St. James Collegiate and Pembina Trails for their generous contribution to SRWC, supporting transportation for our participants, child minding, and our nutrition program. These funds help alleviate barriers and ensure SRWC participants have access to food, bus transport, and programming.
The youth involved in Youth in Philanthropy are making a significant impact in our community, demonstrating compassion and empathy that offer hope for the future.
This year, over 500 yippers supported 71 local charities through 125 grants, raising $185,000!
Finally, a sincere thank you to for enabling students to connect directly with Manitoba organizations. Thank you for all of the work that you do!
