Kids On Track is a community-building organization that provides hope, direction, and ongoing support for children, youth, and their parents. Educational, social, spiritual, and recreational elements are combined to deliver well-rounded programs. We cultivate relationships, encouraging participants in faith, character and leadership development, social skills, and a healthy lifestyle. We strive to support families experiencing limited opportunities due to various socioeconomic challenges.

Kids On Track started in September of 1992. On October 31, 1995 Kids On Track was officially registered as a non-profit society in the province of Alberta. In August of 1996 we received our charitable status with the Government of Canada. This longevity has created credibility with families and other service providers such as schools, police and social workers. Our long-term commitment to at-risk families builds trust and provides stability for children and youth.

“…our work helps to provide hope, direction, and ongoing support for families, all of which contribute to a healthier, more connected community. Our longevity in the community speaks to the commitment we have to our local families and demonstrates the responsibility we feel to our continued work. We have the experience and knowledge to help our participants be more effective. We are proud of the work we do and are committed to continuing to make a positive impact in the lives of children and families in our community.”

Kids On Track’s 30th year was a season of significant transition not only in the staff, board, and programming but in our office space. Although we will be forever grateful for the use of space at People’s Church for the past 30 years, it was time to have a space we could call our own. Our move reminds me of the biblical account of Isaac — who was trying to become established in the land he was promised. He finally found a place where he could have provision and a place of good will. In a time of famine he dug a well, found water and called it ‘Rehoboth’, which meant wide open spaces. Indeed, when Kids On Track moved into the new offices everyone echoed Isaac’s sentiment, “. . . the Lord has made room for us and we shall thrive.” (Genesis 26:22, Living Bible).
