For families starting a new chapter in Canada, access to welcoming learning opportunities can help children build confidence, develop new skills, and feel connected to their new community. Through YesWeCode, Hakili creates accessible spaces where young learners can explore technology, collaborate with peers, and discover new possibilities for their future.
For one family, YesWeCode became more than a coding program. It provided an opportunity for their child to develop valuable technology skills while building friendships. At a time when finding affordable learning opportunities was challenging, the program offered a supportive environment where their child could participate, grow, and feel included.
Reflecting on their experience, one parent shared:
“As an immigrant and fairly new to Canada, this program was extremely accessible and allowed my child to interact with other kids while boosting their skills. It was recommended to us at a time when we could not financially afford to pay for any other program for our kid and was truly one of the best gifts during our settling period.”
This experience highlights the impact of creating learning opportunities where young people from diverse backgrounds can access fun, engaging, educational programs, and connect with their peers. Through YesWeCode, Hakili continues to create pathways for all youth to learn, grow, and explore their potential.
