RBC realizes that money alone cannot create long-lasting change at the community level. So we bring a full range of resources to our After-School Grants Program partnerships.
RBC employees have contributed in significant ways at recipient programs across Canada as one-on-one reading mentors, sport coaches, as well as assisting in other ways such as branch tours, fundraising, field trip chaperoning and board representation. In November 2000 RBC hosted the first-ever national After-School Program Conference. More than 60 after-school program providers from across Canada participated in the conference and shared in an unprecedented opportunity to meet, network and exchange best practices. Since the conference, RBC has hosted regional conference calls and in-person meetings to facilitate recipient networking and the transfer of knowledge and best practices on an on-going basis.
Helping kids stay in school is a key area of focus for RBC and its employees.
