Building Futures Together
At Divaas R Us, we don't just dream about a better tomorrow - we create it today, together. Our community programs are where connections blossom and lives transform. Picture this: a grandmother teaching traditional recipes to young moms, newcomers practicing English over chai, teenagers and seniors dancing to Bollywood beats. These aren't just events - they're the building blocks of a community that wraps its arms around everyone.
We specialize in turning "you" into "us" - whether through festive celebrations that honour our roots, support circles that heal hearts, or workshops that unlock potential. Every smile shared, every story exchanged, every hand held tight makes our future brighter. This is how real change begins - not with grand gestures, but with countless small moments of human connection.
Our Values
For 15 years, we’ve built our community on three unshakable truths. First, everyone belongs here – we throw open our doors wide to newcomers, elders, and dreamers alike. Second, real change happens when we listen – to immigrant stories, to elders’ wisdom, to children’s laughter. Third, joy is our superpower – whether we’re dancing at Aaja Nachle or sharing tea at a senior’s circle, we believe happiness fuels transformation.
It’s how we live. We show up, speak plainly, and care fiercely. Our “values” aren’t words on a wall – they’re the hugs we give, the hands we hold, the extra plates we set at every table. That’s the Divaas way.
Fundraising is the Art of Teaching the Joy of Giving
At Divaas R Us, we believe every contribution plants a seed of change. Fundraising isn’t just about collecting donations – it’s about creating moments where generosity meets joy. When you give, you’re not just writing a check; you’re sharing in laughter at our senior gatherings, fueling dreams at our dance competitions, and building bridges at our cultural events. True giving happens when hearts connect, and that’s the magic we create together.
Why Join Our Community Programs?
Because here, you don't just attend events - you become family. Our programs are where:
- Newcomers find their first friends over chai and stories
- Seniors rediscover their spark through music and movement
- Cultures collide in the most beautiful ways through dance and art
- Quiet voices grow bold in our sharing circles
This is more than a calendar of activities – it’s where loneliness ends and belonging begins. Whether you come to give or to grow, you’ll leave with your heart fuller than when you arrived. That’s the Divaas difference.

Finding Confidence Through B&B TalksBefore attending Divaas R Us’ Bold & Brilliant Talks, I struggled to speak up in professional settings. The inspiring stories of fearless women and the supportive environment helped me find my voice. Now, I lead workshops at my company and mentor other women.
