Zebra Child and Youth Advocacy Centre

For 20 years, the Zebra Child & Youth Advocacy Centre has brought together community partners including Edmonton Police Service, Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Edmonton Region Children’s Services, Alberta Health Services, and Alberta Justice & Solicitor General to provide a continuum of support, in a child-friendly environment, for children and youth who have experienced abuse. In 2022, the Zebra Centre helped 4,272 children and youth.

Your participation and fundraising efforts through RunWild goes towards funding our Child Support Services Programs, which includes our Backpack Home program where a child will get a backpack full of appropriate clothing, pajamas, personal items, and toys and Hope’s Toy Closet where a child selects a brand new toy to celebrate their bravery. Your efforts ensure the Zebra Centre is able to continue to support children and youth who have experienced abuse and to provide a safe space where kids can tell. Contributions such as yours allowed us to provide services to 4,272 children, youth and their families in 2022, an 11% increase over 2021.

Whether you are striving to achieve a personal best, running for the first time, jogging with family and friends, or participating for the WILD time, we hope you have a great time and enjoy getting active for our local non-profits. Thank you for making a difference in your community!
