Qui nous sommes

Kateslem After School Program in Coquitlam, provides vulnerable youth with a positive, consistent, supportive and safe after school environment.

Kateslem aims to empower youth through experiences and skill development.

The individual’s abilities and needs, in relation to their family, peers, school and community, are valued and respected.

The low youth to staff ratio facilitates trust and understanding between youth and program staff.

Kateslem operates out of Banting, Citadel, Como Lake, and Hillcrest Middle Schools, in Coquitlam, BC.  (Program capacity is 20 students per school)
