The Global Education Club

Helping Organizations

There are hundreds of Canadian organizations that help people throughout Canada and the world. Here are some that appreciate donations. Our club explores web sites in order to decide to whom we would like to donate recycling and other fundraised money.

You need to explore these sites to see which ones suit your values and goals. It's always best if adults preview any websites before children do. Many of the sites have children's sections. 

 If you have slow computers in your school's computer lab, each student can each pull up a different web site, and then play "musical chairs" exploring the goals of each organization.
