We work with women, girls, non-binary, and gender diverse individuals in rebuilding their lives through innovative programs that support access to employment and education. Our mission is to foster a world where all who experience or who have experienced criminalization are provided with the necessary support to thrive and become who they want to be.

​

Our employment and education services are designed to support both individuals and employers. We provide tailored guidance and resources to clients, while also working directly with employers to build inclusive, supportive workplaces.

Abundance Employment Program

Our employment program is designed to help you build confidence as you enter or re-enter the workforce. It guides you through every stage from job searching to maintaining employment—while connecting you with local resources and support.

​

The program includes 6 modules and can be completed one-on-one or in a group, depending on your needs and program availability. Successful completion of this program includes a gift card honorarium and a certificate of completion. Interested participants can book an introductory meeting with our Employment and Education Coordinator to discuss next steps.
