Do you know an Indigenous youth with a side hustle or business idea?

Whether they're selling beadwork, mowing lawns, creating content, baking, detailing vehicles, or turning a hobby into income, the Youth Side Hustle Program can help them take the next step.

Participants receive one-on-one coaching, support with marketing, pricing, branding, and business growth, plus guidance from people who understand the challenges and opportunities of entrepreneurship.

With summer holidays just around the corner, it's the perfect time for youth to build confidence, learn new skills, and earn some extra money doing something they enjoy.

Please share with Indigenous youth and families in your community!
