We're Kohai LIFE!

Описание: We’re Kohai LIFE! Since our founding in 1973 we’ve been working with individuals with special needs, providing fun, educational programming where we focus on social skills, life skills and functional academics.

In a small group setting at our centre in midtown Toronto, we teach independent living skills like cooking, laundry, safe technology use and self care. Writing, reading and math skills are linked to real-world scenarios, all with the aim to set our participants up for successful independent or semi-independent living.

In the community we take the TTC to recreational activities, shopping trips and work placements. Through partnerships with organizations like the North York Harvest Food Bank, Kohai LIFE participants learn to work as a team, completing tasks and working towards a common goal.

With our long history as a charity, some of our participants have been with us since they were children. In 2018 we moved to serving an adult population exclusively. Our day, evening and weekend programmes are available year-round.

Currently online in response to COVID-19, we’ve translated our curriculum to the online format, meeting daily on Zoom. We’ve brought in great guests like Steve Diguer and DJ Metime to add some fun to our evening programmes.

As a charity, we rely on donations and programme fees, exclusively and we’re so grateful for the support of donors. Visit kohai.ca to get involved or learn more!
