Kids Up Front Foundation (Vancouver)

Wishlist Catalogue

Kids Up Front has a worthy mission to create joy, promote inclusion, and strengthen communities by connecting children and their families to enriching experiences. While fun and enriching experiences are commonly viewed as a luxury, in 1990, the Convention on the Rights of the Child set out by the United Nations was adopted. Article 31 of the convention states “… Parties shall respect and promote the right of the child to participate fully in cultural and artistic life and shall encourage the provision of appropriate and equal opportunities for culture, artistic, recreational, and leisure activity.”

Research has shown that recreation and leisure is an important part of mental health. Access to enriching experiences alleviates social issues, improves quality of life, promotes physical activity, and is overall beneficial (Baur & Tynon, 2012; Bedimo-Rung et al., Bricker et al., 2016; Chiesura, 2004; Powers et al.,2021). They create bonding experiences, community engagement and opportunity for equal access.

On average, Kids Up Front (Vancouver) provides approximately 26,000 experiences to kids and families from equity seeking groups in our community. Throughout the year, there are many specific experiences requested that we never receive the donations to fulfill. Our donation catalogue is a way for our donors to fulfill those unmet wishes and make smiles and joy a reality for a child, youth, or family facing barriers!
