With the generous support of Weston and Loblaw Inc. and George Brown College, the Junior Chefs Club is, by far, the most popular of all programs in Beyond 3:30. Read More
Beyond 3:30 is a unique Model Schools for Inner Cities initiative that provides programming for middle school children between the hours of 3:30-8:00 pm in one of the places they trust the most, their local school. This is a community partnership where the Toronto Foundation for Student Success, the Toronto District School Board and the Toronto Community Foundation come together with existing local organizations to support our inner city "at risk" communities.
The initiative’s strong focus on healthy lifestyles includes a large physical activity component as well as food preparation training and nutrition studies. Programs such as the Junior Chefs Club will introduce youth to healthy food choices and the ability to cook which will have immense impact on their lives, not just in the present but also in the future. Other programs will engage them in physical activity that will not only help them to stay healthy but also channel aggressive behaviours into positive actions. Through the fun, experiential activities offered by the Beyond 3:30 initiative, youth will have opportunities to develop social skills and increase self-esteem.
This innovative initiative also offers students many volunteer opportunities that allow them to develop new skills and abilities and also enable them to contribute to their communities.
Beyond 3:30 is community working at its very best.
