Building Futures is a program that considers the individual needs and circumstances of all participants. The goal of the program is to provide participants with the independence and social skills necessary to return to school and/or the skills to obtain and maintain meaningful employment.

Building Futures is broken into two streams: Employability Skills, where the participants will learn the skills important to obtaining and maintaining meaningful employment, and the difference between starting a job and starting a career; and/or Life Skills where they will learn the skills important to building independence, including budgeting, communication, and effective and positive relationship building. These skills are delivered to participants through classroom instruction, goal setting, assignments, games and role plays, guest speakers and off site tours. Each stream of the program is ten weeks in duration and includes a hot lunch program, as well as a three day team building retreat.

To be eligible for the program participants must be between the ages of 15 and 30, not employed full time or attending school, not receiving Employment Insurance, and legally allowed to work in Canada.

Referrals are accepted from all sources including: individuals, families, schools, community groups, service providers, police and probation officers.
