This Giving Tuesday for the Price of a Coffee You can make a Big Impact

Did you know the the Black Youth unemployment rate is one of the highest among racialized youth, sitting at 23.5% compared to 12% for non racialized youth. Our goal is to raise $10,000 this Giving Tuesday to go 100% towards a bursary to support Black youth in pursuing their education!

We’re asking every supporter to join the challenge and raise funds “For the Price of a Coffee.”

If everyone in our network of over 8,000 people donated just $5, we could raise $40,000 a month — nearly half a million a year. Together, small contributions create massive change.

This year, our campaign will feature fundraising teams — including volunteers, corporate partners, and board members and our community — each competing to raise $500 or more.

We’ll have exclusive prizes for top fundraisers, shout outs on our socials and more! Become a champion for for cause and create your own team, or join in as an individual donor!
