Welcome to CLICK!
CLICK is a community-based, non-profit foundation that was initiated to help inner city children and youth in Vancouver. We believe many individuals, groups and corporations want to help inner city children – and we want to act as a conduit for that support.
CLICK is a dynamic fundraising conduit. When you make a donation, CLICK directs the funds to a wide range of programs that enhance the lives of inner city children. Because CLICK makes donations to registered charities twice a year - once in the spring and once in the fall - funds continually flow to qualified programs.

With support, there’s no limit to what a kid can achieve…
Streetfront is a unique inner city program serving kids growing up in some of Vancouver’s toughest neighborhoods. The program motivates and inspires youth from 12-17 years of age through marathon running and winter camping. In six years, Streetfront youth have completed an impressive 36 marathons!

CLICK’s support helps make this incredible, life-changing program happen.

Reasons to Give...
Most of us never come into contact with the children and teens who live and go to school in Vancouver’s inner city neighborhoods.
Teachers, community workers and coaches, who guide and help these children on a daily basis, know what these children face when they wake up every morning. In the words of these mentors…
“I’ve had a student tell me his dad sleeps in a car.”
“A student asked me if I had ever had ketchup soup”
“Many parents say that there is just nothing extra for their child to join a team or activity. So you’re asked: ‘Can he join and I’ll try to pay in the future?’”
“I take noodles, juice and snack foods on all sports trips, and there’s always a room designated as the food room. That’s because there are always players with zero money for meals.”
“Grade 12 students often don’t buy the graduation picture package because there’s just no money for it.”
“With no food left, I kept stirring the empty pot on the stove until my child fell asleep.” (refugee mother of two)
“I didn’t have breakfast this morning because my Mom didn’t get out of bed.” (girl aged 7)
