Embracing Change: From Local Work

What We're Up To

Rochelle and Chúk completed a two-day training and strategic planning session with Children’s Centre Thunder Bay (CCTB) that was attended by over 120 people representing different non-profit and community organisations, all to support Black youth mental health in the city. 

 

Chúk completed six months of coaching sessions with the Walking Softer Young Leaders award winners. These young entrepreneurs received $50,000 US each for their business’ climate efforts. The coaching calls were set up to build them up as leaders and business owners to increase the likelihood that their venture “makes it”.
