Culture for Kids in the Arts
Culture for Kids in the Arts relies on a small staff and dedicated volunteer Board to bring top-tier cultural education to children across our community. If you feel that you have a passion for arts in the community, email info@ckarts.ca
Boys and Girls Club
You can sponsor a family in need in our community this holiday season. Reach out to lisa@kboysandgirlsclub.com
City Kidz
Sadly, about 25,000 in the Hamilton area are living in poverty. City Kidz needs hundreds of volunteers to sort through toy donations and make deliveries to children in need. The smile you get when you personally drop off a toy at a child’s house by Christmas Eve will be worth every second it took for you to get there.

McMaster Children’s Hospital
Volunteers are an integral part of Hamilton Health Sciences, and there are many reasons to volunteer.
