We Rise: A Black Engagement Program
As part of RiseUp: Kids Help Phone’s Action plan for supporting Black Youth, we’re creating a Canada-wide network of volunteer Champions in African, Caribbean and Black communities to connect youth to resources and critical supports from Kids Help Phone and our partner.
Champions
Eligibility:
- African, Caribbean or Black Youths
- Individuals 15 years and older with strong connections to the Black community
Responsibilities:
- build awareness of Kids Help Phone service and other mental health support services in your community
- increase access to community resources to ensure resources in your community that support youth mental, emotional, physical and spiritual well-being are included in Kids Help Phone’s Resources Around Me database
- provide ongoing input on Kids Help Phone’s Black youth indicatives
- connect during times of crisis to help discuss how we can connect youth in your community with immediate support
- engage on the Peer-to-Peer community by reading and responding to posts by youth (for youth only)
You can save and change the lives of young people
Thanks to our growing community, Kids Help Phone offers free, 24/7 e-mental health services to young people in Canada. Your generosity helps ensure that someone is always there when support is needed for any issue, big or small.
