Bienvenue à Extend-A-Family !
At Hamilton & District Extend-A-Family, our goal is to provide a space in which everyone belongs. We believe that each individual, regardless of gender, ethnicity, or ability, deserves the right to respect and friendship, and our team is committed to growing connections around those in our community who are neurodivergent.
Chez Extend-A-Family, nous pensons qu'il faut "un village", et chaque famille, bénévole, membre du conseil d'administration et du personnel s'engage à cet idéal. Nous sommes une communauté ! Ensemble, nous nous efforçons d'offrir un espace sûr et inclusif, de favoriser les liens, d'établir des relations et de permettre à chacun d'apporter sa contribution.
Nous pensons que chaque individu, s'il bénéficie du soutien et de l'opportunité appropriés, a la capacité de briller. Grâce à des programmes de loisirs et d'éducation, nous nous efforçons d'offrir ces possibilités à notre communauté. Notre personnel dévoué, nos généreux donateurs, nos bénévoles engagés et nos incroyables familles se rassemblent pour prouver que, grâce à la force de la communauté, chacun d'entre nous peut s'épanouir.
