The Upcoming Leaders Education Bursary - Tomorrow's Topkids Child Care Society

The Upcoming Leaders Education Bursary Information

Tomorrow’s Topkids operates 2 successful programs during the school term for the older children in our care; Leaders and Junior Staff. Both programs were established to challenge our older participants, give them responsibility, teach them valuable life skills and teach them accountability and consequences of their actions and behaviour.
In the summer QUEST for ADVENTURE is a popular program for the older participants encouraging independence, communication skills and introduces participants to activities outside their comfort zones.
Our goal is to continue to support our participants in their pursuit of higher education, thinking outside the box, trying new things and becoming responsible Leaders in their communities.
The Upcoming Leaders Education Bursary has been established to help our past participants reach their educational and life goals.
