Rainbow Mentors: A colourful future
Rainbow mentors needs your help with start up fees. Help us get our programming running. This program will be supporting 2SLGBTQIA+ kids and youth from age 4-18. It will be run as a mentoring program. There is currently a gap in services for this population and age range. Your donation will be used to create programming for 2SLGBTQIA youth, programs such as art, music, and recreational. We are also working to create a queer youth library, donations of books are also accepted. All money donated will be used to buy art supplies, musical instruments, sporting equipment, and healthy snacks during programming. Donations of all materials listed above are also accepted. Your support is key to providing this much needed programming in Hamilton. We are a volunteer run organization so every dollar donated helps so much.
For every $20 dollars donated we will send you a rainbow gem bracelet.
For every $50 donated we will send you a black t-shirt with a rainbow battery.
We care about creating positive spaces where kids can be themselves and grow in a positive environment. ABOUT US: Rainbow Mentors was created to fill a gap in services for children and youth age 4-18 identifying as 2SLGBTQIA .
