About Kismet Learning Centre
Kismet Learning Centre (KLC) is a multidisciplinary clinic dedicated to helping children, youth, and families thrive. We provide individualized services through a collaborative team that includes Occupational Therapists (OTs), Behaviour Consultants (BCBA), and Behaviour Interventionists (BIs) who work together to support skill development, independence, participation, and overall well-being.
Our Summer Camp program is designed to create an inclusive, engaging, and supportive environment where children can build social connections, develop new skills, and participate in meaningful recreational experiences. Volunteers play an important role in helping us create positive and memorable experiences for every camper.
Whether you're pursuing a career in education, psychology, behaviour analysis, occupational therapy, healthcare, or human services, volunteering at KLC offers a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience while working alongside experienced professionals and making a meaningful impact in the lives of children and families.
