Kids Recreation Fund

The Kids Recreation Fund (KRF) provides low-income families an opportunity to apply for funding for their children to participate in sport and recreational activities within the Yukon Territory. The program is administered by Sport Yukon, a non-profit society with a mandate to enhance opportunities for all Yukon people in their pursuit of excellence, and in their enjoyment of participation in sport.

This initiative established in April of 1999 helps kids whose families are experiencing financial hardship so that they may actively participate in sport, art, cultural, social and recreational programs.  In its 13^th year of existence more than 6,000 children from across the Territory have accessed over $1,600,000 in program dollars.

The Yukon Government’s Health and Social Services sponsors a large portion of the program but local businesses, community clubs, groups and individuals also play an important role in supporting this initiative.

The committee is asking for your much-needed support in the investment of our youth, so they may achieve mental, physical, social, and personal development through participation in active living.
