The program supports individualized goals to enhance the childs area of need; supporting social skills, educational intervention, individuals with disabilities, violence prevention, children in care or at risk of being in the care of the Childrens Aid Society, 2SLGBTQ+ supports, and positive nutrition and physical activity practices. The Akwe:go program provides a space where urban Indigenous children can feel safe to be themselves and accepted.

An added component of the Akwe:go program is the Student Nutrition Program (SNP). The SNP seeks to improve the ability of children and youth to concentrate and succeed, both in school and daily life, through the provision of healthy meals and snacks.
