Education is key to breaking the cycle of poverty in our community. La Corde\u2019s programs are constructed around nurturing the physical, mental, social, and spiritual lives of the youth in the center. The mission is simple: provide a support system for the youth within the community to enable them to build a better and more stable future through education and compassion.<\/p>\n

La Corde Youth Centre is located in the Cloverdale community of East Pierrefonds. Cloverdale is one of the largest housing co-ops in Canada, represents over 50 nationalities, and has an average dropout age of 14.<\/p>\n

The activities offered at la Corde stretch young people out of their reality and provide opportunities for the la Corde team to invest in their character, values, leadership, and spiritual journey. In this way, young people learn to make good life decisions that will shape their future in a positive way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Breakfast & Lunch Program<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Every day of the week, elementary-aged youth stream into the La Corde building to get their fill; fresh, healthy meals, snacks, smiling faces and a warm safe environment to foster growth. La Corde offers whole-person care; tending to the physical, social, spiritual and mental aspects of life so that every young person leaves our programming more equipt than when they came through the doors.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been \u00a0at la corde since grade 2. \u00a0I was very timid and stayed in my corner. \u00a0I had trouble talking with others. \u00a0Now I\u2019m signed up for almost all the programs\u2026breakfast, lunch, after school and soccer. \u00a0I\u2019ve made lots of friends. \u00a0I\u2019m a lot less shy than I was before and a lot more sociable. \u00a0Before I didn\u2019t know anything about God. \u00a0Now I know how important he is. \u00a0Someday I would like to be an accountant.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Homework Help<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

We know that a solid education brings about a world of opportunities! The caring team at La Corde wants to see youth THRIVE in confidence and skill as they navigate the education system. Custom-tailored support, our safe, non-judgmental environment and access to educational materials as needed offer an important and accessible resource to kids needing some extra support.<\/p>\n

NXT Gen<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Cloverdale has a much younger population than the rest of the Island of Montreal with over 37% of its population aged 19 and under. There\u2019s a lack of academic investment in young people due to socio economic challenge backgrounds related to families of the community. Tools and resources are needed to help young people to attain higher success in personal well-being and education development. NXT Gen study hub is an academic support program for students. The program offers High school, College and University students access to resources (Study space, Lap tops, Internet, Printing, Tutoring, Mentoring) to facilitate their learning and studies in order to attain academic success.<\/p>\n

Genius Club<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Gifted children often stand out. Like most people, they are unique individuals with varied and multi-faceted talents and interest. Some demonstrate mastery in multiple areas while others excel in a single subject. We believe giftedness is diverse, occurring within all groups of people. Unfortunately, too many gifted students from families of lower socioeconomic status, as well as students from culturally, ethnically and racially diverse groups are often undervalued and disregarded for gifted identification. The Genius Club is a platform that cultivates kids with a higher intellectual skill set.<\/p>\n
