Create welcoming time for young people to learn, contribute and belong.
Why this matters
Time outside school can be more than a schedule to fill. Young people benefit from safe, welcoming experiences where they can build confidence, practise practical skills, form positive relationships and contribute to the community.
What Beaches Sandbox does
Through Club Sandwich Jr., young volunteers work together in the Sandbox Kitchen to prepare food for community distribution, practise teamwork and kitchen skills, and see how their effort connects to something larger than themselves.
