As a survivor works through past trauma and begins to heal, hope arises. She starts to dream about what she wants to accomplish, and imagine what’s possible for her future: graduating from university, establishing a career, starting a family of her own.
Our local partners encourage young adults to dream, and connect them to the opportunities they need to build independent lives. After graduating from university or job training, staff help individuals transition from the safe home when they feel ready.
Reintegration and Support
We encourage individuals to pursue work they enjoy through job training. We connect students with classes in trades, baking, hair and makeup, jewellery, photography, tailoring and more. We want every student to feel accomplished and excited about their chosen field.
Job Training
After high school, we encourage students with eligible grades to apply for and attend university. The cost of university tuition can be prohibitive to students, so we match students with donors to make post-secondary education possible.
Educational Scholarships
Our transitional housing program supports young adults as they work towards financial independence with subsidized housing. Alongside 2-3 other young adults, individuals receive financial support to lease and furnish an apartment for a 1 year term.
Transitional Housing
Many of our program graduates have established careers they enjoy and started beautiful, loving families. It doesn’t matter how many years have passed, graduates are always welcome at the safe home to enjoy holidays, celebrations or simply for an evening meal.
We’re inspired by the resilience and bravery of our young adults.
