The campaign was a HUGE success - thank you so much to all of you wonderful community members who donated to help reach our target of $3000.

We are so PROUD to have incredible supporters who seek community solutions to community problems. As we discussed during the campaign, employing our youth is the best way to safeguard the future of our community, and the economy.

A job means so much to our young people - it’s a chance to become a contributing member of society, a chance to become financially independent and move out of crisis housing. In the words of a young person supported by Labour Y, a job is a reason to get out of bed in the morning. Thank you to our loyal donors who consistently stand with us in our mission to transform the lives of young people facing disadvantage living nearby.

However, we are here to remind you that this problem is not yet solved. Youth can STILL do it. Let’s maintain momentum and stay focussed on our goal to tackle youth underemployment.

It’s not too late to donate to Labour Y. Every day, our team work with young people to improve their job prospects. This involves all aspects of job readiness such as CV and interview prep, support paying for food, transport to interviews, interview clothing and more. Labour Y also run programs and courses (such as the Café Y Hospitality Course) aimed to support young people to get work experience and certifications. Your donations make this work possible – please click here to donate today.

It’s also not too late to speak to your employer about the transformational benefits of hiring a young person through Labour Y. This transformation is 3 fold: transform your corporate social responsibility program, transform your business’ outlook (gaining a fresh perspective) and transform your outlook on life. Make it your responsibility to partner with Labour Y and hire a young person in your workplace.
