The program seeks to empower our community by cultivating life skills and supporting the personal and collective development of our community members. We do this by forming partnerships with the business and community organization. Located in Riverview Elementary School, we offer extracurricular and educational activities to elementary school students, free monthly parent and family workshops during the evening and a free collective garden project open to all Verdun residents.

Rogers believes that every young person deserves the chance to reach their full potential. Rogers also believes that education is the key to helping young people realize this potential. This is why Rogers developed the Rogers Youth Fund. The Rogers Youth Fund initiative is a national program designed to provide basic academic support (literacy, numeracy, and languages), tools and resources needed to excel both inside and outside the classroom. It is dedicated to helping Canada’s youth overcome the barriers they face in getting the most out of their education, particularly those who are at risk due to poverty, isolation, being new to Canada, or who face challenges at home.
