Moncton Youth Recreation Assistance Program (MyRap) PDF Print E-mail
Moncton Youth Recreation Assistance ProgramThe City of Moncton, in partnership with the YMCA of Greater Moncton, launched the Moncton Youth Recreation Assistance Program (MyRap), at a press conference Tuesday April 28, 2009, held at the YMCA.

MyRap provides limited financial assistance for children to participate in recreation programs who could not otherwise afford the registration fee. The purpose for this program is to give every child and family the opportunity to participate in recreation activities.

“It is vital that every child be presented with the same opportunities regardless of financial ability, whether it be in recreation or the arts. Each person has a unique ability and it is our hope that MyRap will help foster this talent in an disadvantaged child in our city,” said Moncton City Councillor Paul Pellerin. “We are thrilled to be able to partner with the YMCA of Greater Moncton to provide this service for our residents.”

MyRap is the newest addition to the financial assistance portfolio at the YMCA of Greater Moncton, providing additional funding to help more children and youth participate in recreational activities. Other programs provided through the YMCA include JumpStart and KidSport.

“Each year, our YMCA helps over 1,500 families by providing them with direct financial assistance for our own program,” said Zane Korytko, CEO of the YMCA of Greater Moncton.  “Now with MyRap, we can reach out to even more people in our community. Every child, regardless of their ability to pay fees or equipment, should be able to participate in any kind of activity or sport.”

I really think this is a great idea! It is giving children from ALL family lives, a chance to participate and have fun. These days, a lot of children do not have access to funds, because they are not financially stable, so I think this is a really awesome thing for the YMCA to do for them.
Two thumbs up, guys!
