Find your footing at the Y.

“We had a young man come in who had recently graduated high school. He’d been kicked out of his house and was living in a shelter while applying to colleges and jobs,” shared Karen from YMCA Employment Services.

With support from a job coach, he attended an interview and landed a job, found a room to rent, and got help from the Y shopping while waiting for his first paycheck. Today, he’s thriving in his work and living situation.

Moments like this show how YMCA Employment Services transform lives. Help us create more stories of independence and success: GiveToTheY.ca
