$4,679 towards $18,700

...Some of the most meaningful work I think we've ever done was done over the pandemic”. -Jahsol Drummond, Apprentice


The past year has often felt like a sci-fi movie, come to life. Through the shocking plot twists and jarring jump cuts, our youth have played the role of hero - they have innovated, created, and pushed onward in the face of each new challenge. When so much has been put on pause, we’re continuing to play it forward, raising $18,700 to support wages for our youth apprentices in MediaWorks. This unique workforce opportunity provides an intensive, two-month training in video production and graphic design for both part-time and full-time apprenticeship positions. Every dollar you donate will fund hourly pay (starting at minimum wage) and support meaningful jobs, like Jahsol’s.

Like the fearless protagonists in an inspirational movie montage, our apprentices have persevered to embrace every new opportunity - in real life. They are eager to spotlight community organizations and social impact initiatives to address issues including mental health, food security, arts impact and police reform, as they build their portfolios and broaden their educational experiences. They are ready to develop new client pitches, lead casting calls, produce videos, refine design campaigns, and grow their own businesses.

Your generous #PlayItForward gift of $24, $48, or $96 will go directly towards paying a young person, so they have the resources and skills needed to face the next unfolding storyline head-on. Give a gift today, and help write the script for the next scene.
