Tools for School

Every challenge completed brings a child one step closer to a classroom ready to learn.

Know the activity

School supplies should never be a luxury.

For many young students in our communities, school supplies are out of reach. Tools for School puts that reality at the centre of the room and challenges your team to do something about it.

Through creative mental and physical challenges, teams earn points that go toward assembling fully stocked backpacks with essential school supplies. Every challenge completed brings a child one step closer to walking into a classroom ready to learn. When the backpacks are gifted to the children, the room does not just celebrate a win. It feels one.
