Our Program

Our Momentum Now! program’s methodology and design were part of a longitudinal RCT (randomized control testing) study that validated the model as providing significant ROI (return on investment) to government by reducing the dependency on income supports and transitioning youth into sustainable employment and financial independence. Our organization has worked extensively with equity deserving groups such as BIPOC, former youth in care, ex-offenders, newcomers, and refugees.

Participants

Supporting youth in developing and enhancing their long-term employability skills, occupational functioning and emotional resilience through comprehensive professional development and wrap-around supports, resiliency coaching, and quality paid work experience that leads to meaningful, ongoing employment.
