Starting a HIPPY Site

On average, it takes about 4 months to initiate a HIPPY site if funding is available, and about 1 year if it is not.
HIPPY programs run concurrently with the school year. They start in September and finish in May/June.

1

STEP ONE

Learn about the HIPPY program and determine if there is community need and interest.

3

STEP THREE

Establish HIPPY site location, partners and supporters.

2

STEP TWO

Notify Mothers Matter Centre and speak to one of our HIPPY Directors.

4

STEP FOUR

Search for funding. Once funding is received, the HIPPY start-up process can officially begin.

The staff of the Mothers Matter Centre has accumulated years of experience in starting new programs.

Our HIPPY directors are here to help guide and support the development of your new project.
