It worked, but this made the accessibility of our programs limited in terms of geographical and financial restraints.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then 2020 came along and changed everything at Build a Biz Kids. <\/span>The pandemic gave us time to reflect on, and understand our strengths when it came to program education and supporting educators \u2013 we knew there was still room for improvement. We were able to reach a significant amount of students when we shifted our programs online, but that was only the start!<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After being funded by the Canadian Red Cross, we did a speaking tour across Canada for educators. We wanted to help them learn how to build trust and connection with their students online when schools had shifted to remote teaching.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This helped us realize that, not only could we support students, but we could also provide support to the educators who always have childrens\u2019 well-being in mind. This led us towards the growth and expansion of our program through partnerships in communities, where our programs are now being led by educators in their communities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We are thrilled that in only the first 4 months of launching this new program:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We were projected to reach over 678% more kids than in the entire year prior to the pandemic.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The costs and logistics of outreach and expansion went down by over 50%.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The majority of BizKids Programs have become completely free for kids.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have specialized educators who are able to ensure accessibility to support kids with different learning abilities.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We expanded beyond BC and our programs were offered in Alberta and Manitoba for the first time<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After a successful pilot, we knew that this new Network of Community Partners program was going to be an enormous success.
