Our Mission and Vision
Join Us

We strive to create sustainable solutions that address social challenges, promote equity, inclusivity, and enhance the quality of life for minorities and vulnerable people in the inner-city of Edmonton, ensuring a brighter future for everyone.

Empowering Communities holistically

Our approach bridges frontline community services with enterprise-driven solutions to tackle poverty at its roots — empowering individuals through support, skills, and sustainable livelihoods

Social Enterprise

We empower through economic development, small-scale enterprises, employment and entrepreneurship. We create pathways out of poverty and into opportunity through mission-driven social enterprise.
