P.L.A.Y. Program (Positive Leisure Activities for Youth)

Our PLAY program structure has recently changed. Effective January 2016, children who are eligible for the program can access up to $200 per application to help pay for sport. While the maximum submission amount has decreased, we are happy to announced that because of Jumpstart funding, children can now apply up to three times annually for support. These changes will ensure we can help more children to get or stay active throughout the year.Further, once a purchase order has been approved and returned to us, payment for activities will now be issued directly by Jumpstart to the organization. The Human League association and our volunteers will continue to fundraise and develop relationships with our local suppliers and businesses to ensure that the PLAY program continues to grow. Together, we can get more kids off the sidelines and into the game!Parents looking for assistance can apply for funds online or directly through Jumpstart at http://jumpstart.canadiantire.ca/en/what-we-do/want-to-apply

Of course, regular paper applications are available by calling (705) 670-8633 or by sending us an email at PLAY@humanleaguesudbury.com.

Thank you for your continued support!

One in three Canadian families cannot afford to enroll their children in sport or recreation activities†. That means that many kids are missing out.The P.L.A.Y. program is dedicated to removing barriers, so children can participate in organized sport and recreation.We see it as equipping kids for life, because participation in organized sport and recreation increases a child’s chance for success in life.They discover and participate. They gain self-confidence. They develop self-esteem. They learn leadership skills. Their lives become richer. This is the power of P.L.A.Y.Help us give kids a sporting chance!
