At Adventure4Change, we believe that transformation happens when people come together to share their time, skills, and passion. Each month, we shine a light on our Life-Long Change Makers, volunteers who are walking alongside youth and families to build stronger, and more connected communities.
Meet Chuck – Giving Back
Chuck grew up right here in the neighbourhood. He was once a participant in Adventure4Change programs, and now he gives back as a coach and peer mentor in our Soccer Program.
Having experienced the impact firsthand, Chuck knows how powerful it is to create spaces where youth feel challenged, inspired, and supported as they grow, including opportunities to play in a competitive environment.
When asked what inspires him to volunteer, Chuck shared:
“It’s about giving back to the same community that helped me grow. Coaching lets me encourage the next generation and show them that they can achieve more than they think.”
For Chuck, being part of A4C is about more than showing up each week; it’s about building confidence, leadership, and belonging through sport.
Here is another story of a Life Change Maker making more connections…
Meet Hanne – Building Connections
Hanne has been volunteering with Adventure4Change for about a year and a half and lives right in the neighbourhood. She knows firsthand how powerful it is to have spaces where people can connect, access programs, and belong.
Through her involvement with the Connect program, Hanne has seen how relationships can strengthen a neighbourhood:
“It’s amazing to see how simple acts like listening, showing up, and sharing experiences can help people feel valued and supported.”
For Hanne, programs like Connect make a lasting difference by creating safe spaces for people to grow, share, and find community.
The Ripple Effect
Stories like Chuck’s and Hanne’s remind us of the ripple effect one person can have. Their dedication helps Adventure4Change to strengthen community connections, capacity to reach more in need, and gain more opportunities for lasting transformation.
