A few words from our supporters
"Vancity provided a grant to PLEA to support the KidStart program. This grant was based on the strong work of this program which makes a powerful positive contribution towards healthy childhood development. This, in turn, reduces young people’s vulnerability to risk factors associated with crime, substance misuse and exploitation. KidStart is a well structured quality program which has been shown to provide excellent concrete results that improve the lives of young people."

“The City of Vancouver has been funding PLEA since 1995…Social Planning staff annually review PLEA’s grant application and they meet all of the City’s funding requirements. They are competent and effective in delivering a unique service to children who need additional supports beyond the capabilities of most mentoring programs.”

“I would like to take this opportunity to endorse the wonderful work that the PLEA volunteers have been able to do with a variety of the students with whom I have worked. I am a school counselor in the inner city of Vancouver and have worked in this area for ten years and have observed the many needs of the under serviced children and families. When I have been able to take advantage of the PLEA volunteers, through the cooperation and support of Kevin Taylor, many of the referred children have had wonderful mentors and role models for a period of time in their lives.”
