Where do the funds raised go?
Since 1997 Rebound has been helping kids in our community, adapting to fill the service gaps here in Northumberland County in the areas of mental health, academic supports, justice diversion and youth homelessness prevention. Last year alone we served over 1800 local young people.We believe in empowering kids, giving them a second chance to reach their full potential. And we believe in the ripple effects that has in building a positive and vibrant community for all of us. Every one of our services is completely free for clients, so we rely on a committed network of community partners and donors. Our signature fundraising event, Kilometers for Kids, plays a vital role in funding our core services.
