Kids Up Front Edmonton was created in 2003 to provide access to arts, sports and cultural events for children and youth. Our organization grants event tickets that would otherwise go unused to deserving kids identified through our network of partner agencies that provide child and family services in the Edmonton Capital Region. Kids Up Front strives to provide every child and youth with a "larger than life" experience that fosters possibilities, passions, and dreams, one ticket at a time. Through Kids Up Front, children and youth are given opportunities to broaden their experiences and feel part of their communities. Kids Up Front enhances the services of community agencies by helping to create environments for kids to build social skills, while simultaneously enabling frontline workers to build meaningful relationships with those they serve.
