BizStart Entrepreneurship and Employment Project

This initiative is crucial for our community because it directly addresses the systemic barriers that many young people face in high-priority, lower-income neighbourhoods. By providing support and resources tailored to the needs of racialized youth, BizStart helps to combat issues such as high unemployment rates and lack of access to equal opportunities.

The program fosters equitable access to opportunities that many in our community have historically been denied. By empowering youth with skills in entrepreneurship and career development, BizStart not only aids individual growth but also contributes to the overall economic health of these neighbourhoods. When young people are equipped to succeed, it creates a ripple effect that benefits families, communities, and society as a whole. Ultimately, initiatives like BizStart are vital in building a more inclusive future and ensuring that everyone has the chance to thrive.
