FALL & WINTER PROGRAMMING
Hope and Health at Home “H3” uses sport to develop and empower Indigenous children and youth to realize their limitless potential, on and off the (mini) pitch- and gym! Beyond the physical and sport literacy, H3 targets specific social issues for the children and youth developing life and leadership skills and resiliency through our specialized “Champions for Life” curriculum. Learn more about our holistic development approach and H3 HERE.
Amazing Hope and Health at Home “H3” Fall programming is kicking off this month with our Second Annual City of Burnaby Hope and Health Community Camp for Reconciliation, Little Champions programs across four communities on their Mini-Pitches, the East Vancouver After shool program, 5V5 Champions League across four communities and the Nautsa’mawt FC Academy “Sport for Development” California Adventure.
Watch this space and check back as we start to load all of the dates and registration details.
“Hope & Health is an amazing program. The Indigenous youth are lucky to get a first hand look at where sport can bring you in life. What dedication, will power, perseverance and love of the game can get you... my son talks about it for days after and it helps me to use motivation for my son to do well in his league and native ball. He wants to be a professional soccer player and I tell him all the time he can do whatever he puts his mind to. Thanks for everything! Hope & Health is the best program for Indigenous children in sports.”
