Enrichment Center is a non religious organization with a
mission to work with Children, Youth, Young Adult, Parents
and Teachers in our communities. Belka Enrichment Center is
a inclusive type of organization. Our communities as well as
members are part of our progress.
Belka came into existence because of the great needs
and the personal negative experiences of the founders in
the communities around us. Some of us were beaten and
molested as teachers and educators.
Belka Enrichment Center is a
non-profit educational
agency providing after school programs dedicated to
raising academic achievement levels for low-income and
at-risk children in inner city areas and to encouraging them
to become active, involved members of society.
Belka Enrichment began it's pilot program in the Jane-Finch
Neighbourhood of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. This
neighbourhood, one of the most dangerous and crime-ridden
areas of the Province, desperately needed a safe haven in
which children grades K-8 could obtain homework assistance,
mentoring, friendship, and above all, protection from the
dangers and negative influences they encounter in their
daily lives.
