The Heart of Our Charity

The Heart of Valiquette Foundation

Volunteers are absolutely indispensable to the success of our charity. Without their selfless dedication and hard work, we simply couldn’t function as effectively or reach as many people in need. Their time, effort, and passion help us make a real difference in the lives of those we serve. We are incredibly grateful for their ongoing support, and we can’t thank them enough for being the backbone of everything we do.

Our incredible volunteers are the heart of everything we do!
From academic support in tutoring, French, English, and coding, to bringing energy and enthusiasm to our winter, March Break, and summer camps — their impact is felt everywhere. They help make our Halloween and Christmas/End-of-Year celebrations unforgettable and play a key role in powering our exciting fundraising events.
We truly couldn’t do it without them!

"Every now and then, as a parent, an opportunity presents itself that has the potential to affect massive positive change for our children. Jay Valiquette and his approach to both education and child and teen mentorship is one of those rare opportunities. Schools, governments and parents should pay attention because the future of schooling is exemplified in Mr. Valiquette’s teachings, words and actions."

Dave Mackey, Parent

Thank you so much to our amazing volunteers for all their support during our three-day fundraiser at IGA!

“My children (three of them) all spent a lot of time with Jay and he had a profound affect on their physical and emotional strength as well as their character. To this day, they continue to excel in their studies and athletics. They would not be the same as they are today, if they had not had time with Jay… without doubt. “

Aaron Fraser, Parent

Summer Camp volunteers with their certificates

Grateful to our volunteers – some of whom gave as much as 420 hours over 9 weeks – for their incredible dedication.

So proud of our amazing volunteers, ages 15–26, who not only gave their time this summer but also completed their McGill Finance Certificate – truly impressive!
