The Yellow Shirts program is the heartbeat of our commitment to the next generation, focused on bridging the gap between home and the classroom. We believe that every child deserves the best start in life, which is why we work hand-in-hand with families and the broader community to ensure our kids are walking through the school gates as often as possible. From boosting early childhood development and school readiness to sharpening literacy and numeracy skills, our mission is to provide the steady support needed for every student to thrive. We aren’t just getting kids to school; we are clearing the path for successful transitions into further education and meaningful careers.

Our strength lies in our people. We are proud that 80% of our team are Indigenous trail-blazers, bringing a diverse mix of voices and genders to the frontline of our mission. This local leadership ensures that our support is culturally grounded and deeply personal. We hold ourselves to high standards of success, tracking attendance with the clear goal of seeing 80% of our cohort consistently in class, and pushing for excellence by ensuring 20% of our students reach an elite 90% attendance rate. When the Yellow Shirts are on the ground, we’re not just improving statistics—we’re building a legacy of learning for the entire community.
