Proud to announce our partnership today with the Government of Canada to combat youth homelessness!

Seen Friday at the #100KOpportunities event in Dallas: Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz helping a youth prepare for employment by conducting a practice interview. I...t was also an amazing opportunity to learn about this initiative and share HireUp with corporations including Walmart, FedEx, JCPenney, Pizza Hut, Teavana, Target, Hyatt and Macy's See more

This week, 5 youth have gotten great jobs with The Home Depot, FirstService Residential Ontario and HireUp. Youth have unlimited potential!

Check out and share our newly re-designed home page!! Working in tandem with service providers, HireUp identifies talented youth who face barriers but show the competencies and aptitudes to succeed. Youth apply for jobs and are supported by service organizations for up to six months post-employment.

It's our birthday! A year ago today we launched HireUp at the Canadian Alliance to End Homelessness in Montreal. Our commitment to connecting vulnerable youth to meaningful employment continues unabated. We deeply appreciate the invaluable work of our 35 youth serving partners across the country. We're also thank the amazing employers who believe in the potential of vulnerable youth - these include #HomeDepotCanada, #Scotiabank, #TD, #Nordstrom, #Walmart, Indian Business Cor...poration, Peak Products, Maple Leaf Foods and First Service Residential. Finally a big thanks to our friends and partners at the Canadian Observatory on Homelessness. Here's to another exciting year ahead!

Big changes to the HireUp website! Youth can now register for accounts directly. Come check it out at https://hireupyouth.ca/

You can make a difference! Every $2 paper door purchase at Home Depot stores helps homeless youth in your community.

These are all of YSO Partners. We are so happy to have their support in tackling the challenge of providing employment oppurtunities for youth with lived experience of homelessness.
