Rogers Birdies for Kids Presented by Altalink

Rogers Birdies for Kids presented by Altalink is on! Increase your impact for youth in our community by donating and having it matched up to 50%! Your donation through Birdies for Kids goes to our ConnecTeen program, a confidential and free peer support service for youth in Calgary and Southern Alberta. We offer support by phone, text, chat and email. Throughout its history, ConnecTeen has supported children as young as 8 years old to young adults aged 24.

In the last 5 years, there were over 21,500 phone, text, email, and chat connections directed to ConnecTeen. Some of the most common reasons for reaching out include: suicide ideation, parent/child relationships, family relationships, anxiety, and depressed mood.

Youth can contact ConnecTeen 24 hours a day:

Youth-to-youth support is available from 3-10pm on weeknights and 12-10pm on weekends.

Ensure our youth have a safe space to be heard and supported by donating to ConnecTeen. By giving a gift through Rogers Birdies for Kids presented by AltaLink, your donation will be matched up to 50%.

Hurry, this event is only up until August 31, 2025! Double your impact for our youth by donating here:
