Brainchild Yeg

BrainChild's Mission is to provide children-in-need, whether disempowered or disengaged, the opportunity to discover a love of learning, specifically math and science. Our Vision is a community where no child is left behind; where all are nurtured; and where all graduate high school and go on to be productive members of society in adulthood.
