About Sarnia-Lambton Rebound:
Founded in 1984, Sarnia-Lambton Rebound (SLR) works with teenagers and families in Sarnia, Ontario and the surrounding communities. The charity reports that a teen’s ability to navigate relationship issues with parents, peers, and community members often determines whether the teen will engage in risky behaviour. SLR works to provide an environment where clients feel empowered to face challenges and make decisions that are right for them. Since founding, the charity has worked with more than 40,000 youth through almost 20 different programs and services.
SLR operates the HUB and r.Lounge spaces for youth to enjoy a hot meal, participate in fun activities with peers, and access support from 35 other community organizations for education, employment, mental health, and addiction. In F2019, 371 youth visited the HUB an average of 13 times, and 216 visited r.Lounge.
In F2019, in-school suspension and detention were the largest SLR services in terms of client numbers, serving 1,164 youth. Students in secondary schools in the St. Clair Catholic District School Board are held in a classroom within the school instead of being sent home. In detention, students complete schoolwork, participate in social skills development, and reflect on how they can make better choices in the future.
SLR provides arts programs such as GPS (Getting Possibilities Started), Act II, Expressive Arts, and Rebound Rocks. Youth produce a local television show, plan community events, produce plays, and perform at concerts.
The charity offers 10-week programs teaching life skills, including Life Choices, Stage Jr., Choices, and Choices Jr. In F2019, 65 LGBT2SQ youth were served through Spectrum social activities and 63 were supported in transitioning out of the child welfare system into independent adulthood.

Finances
Sarnia-Lambton Rebound is a medium-sized charity with donations and special events revenue of $1.7m in F2019. Donations may be overstated for F2019 as the charity's T3010 filing with the CRA was used to separate government funding for F2018 and F2017.
Administrative costs are 3% of revenues less investment income, and fundraising costs are 6% of donations. For every dollar donated, 91 cents go to the cause, which is within Ci’s reasonable range for overhead spending. Cents to the cause for F2019 may be overstated due to government funding being included in donations.
SLR has $768k in funding reserves which could cover seven months of program costs.
