October, 2013 – Thank You to everyone who supported and participated in YES’ Scotiabank Charity Challenge! We raised over $14,000 for our programs and services.
The Scotiabank Waterfront Marathon is a great opportunity for community engagement, profile building and fundraising. Help us make this event a huge success.
Before YES I had interviews but afterwards I would never get any calls back. Most places won’t hire you unless you have a certificate or diploma. They won’t give you a chance or give you training. It’s hard. I came to YES because I heard from a friend they help and teach you how to get a job. They helped me get into a really good program that will not just get me a job but a career. Even though the staff at YES did not know me, they were so helpful and kind. I had a much easier time to do my job search and look for jobs with access to the internet and phones that YES provides. Now I’m working at a job I love! Thank you!
Our summer sessions and first fall sessions are ready for sign up.

When I first entered the Job Camp program at YES I was on the verge of losing my apartment and in between schools. With the help of Job Camp I was able to revamp my resume and interview skills thus boosting my confidence to put myself out there on the job market. Within the second week of Job Camp I had 2 interviews and was hired on the spot. Working there enabled me to keep my apartment and I’ve already saved enough to pay for my first semester of college. Without programs like these I wouldn’t be where I am today.
