About the REAL Program

The REAL Program is a nonprofit program that provides recreation and leisure opportunities to children and youth in financial need by matching them with an organized recreational activity of their choice. It costs approximately $200 to provide a program or class space for one young person.

The City of St. John’s supports the REAL Program by providing office space and staff support so that 100 per cent of all funds raised or donated go directly to paying for program registration, equipment and transportation.

Thank you to all the generous donors – you have made a difference in the life of a child.
