The KidSafe Project Society provides nurturing safe havens for at-risk inner-city elementary school students when schools are traditionally closed in Vancouver's East side. School is where children learn, play, eat, make friends, discover role models, develop life-long skills and find help in a crisis.

KidSafe keeps schools open after school and during winter, spring and summer breaks for at-risk elementary students from the ages of 5 to 13. Providing safety, healthy meals, learning and recreation activities in a caring, fun environment, the objective is to ensure these vulnerable children have the opportunity to shine.

Serving nearly 400 children, the project runs free of charge thanks to the generosity of individuals, businesses, governments and organizations that want to make an impact within their community. They hold a variety of fundraising events in addition to selling greeting cards featuring the artwork of KidSafe kids in local stores and via their website.
