HISTORY

We’re a charity whose roots go back to 1973. Kohai was founded as a summer camp for individuals with developmental disabilities and learning challenges, transitioning into a day school for children and adults and most recently, has become a day programme for adults called Kohai LIFE.

For five decades, Kohai has responded to the need in our community for high quality educational programming and life skills training. Serving the city’s special needs population, we deliver full time programming year-round and offer needs-based bursary opportunities.

The work that we do is funded entirely through programme fees and donations, as we receive no government funding. Please consider giving to Kohai LIFE. The generosity of our donors and participant families provides critical support that enables us to continue to provide enriching and engaging opportunities. You’ll find us on Canada Helps under our charity name Kohai Educational Centre. Click here to make a donation.
