What The YSM Evergreen Centre for Street-Involved Youth will do with your contributions
This is the fourth year PULP will be contributing funds to and working with YSM Evergreen Centre for Street Youth.
So far, PULP raised over $5000 for the centre. In the summer of 2016, Art Director Sharon Abel, Marketing & Administration Coordinator Ainsley Boyd, and Supervisor Aleke Dekker started work on the project. Using PULP’s donation they were able to launch a pilot project to create a social enterprise out of Evergreen: Jubilee Designs. This is a design and decor business idea that is founded on the creativity and resilience of the centre’s youth. Youth are able to focus on their primary goals such as mental health or housing stability, while working a few hours a week in a supportive and creative environment. They create beautiful decorations and accessories using discarded and re-purposed material, which are sold on their website.
