Music With Meaning!



Poste Français

"In conjunction with the Kids Help Phone, Tru Kings Records has been touring through Montreal and its surrounding areas, performing at high schools. The concerts are designed to raise awareness of issues within schools, such as racism, violence, peer pressure and depression.

Going on their third year, the 2009 Music With Meaning tour will include performances by Tru Kings' artist M'City Solo and special guests like Bad News Brown, DJ Blaster and Pamela.

Giving back to the community is one of Tru Kings' biggest priorities. Performers and their representatives take time between concerts to speak to students about struggles they might face and how they can use the Kids Help Line to get through them. " -musicwithmeaning.ca

Show notes for this video include basic information concerning the Student Ambassador program.



For more Information Concering the Student Ambassador Student Program, Please visit our main website :




The Idea for this program came to life when the program's founder's friend's life was saved by Kids Help Phone form suicide. The founder believed that raising awareness through other youth was the best way to promote the Kids Help Phone Service.

The main goal of the Student Ambassador program is raising awareness though things like presnetations at schools, and information booths at community events.

Returns are numerous! Not only are you likley to get yourself a fashionable marshmellow sweater, free of charge, but also this program allows you benefits such as a chance to win a scholarship after highschool or Cegep. You also develop skills that can be translated and used in workforce environments. You learn and gain leadership and public speaking skills while having a great time. Not only are you helping a wonderfull cause, you're helping yourself :)
