Youth Horizons
For Equity-Deserving Youth (12+)
Youth Horizons is a specialized financial, employment and life skills program designed to facilitate the participation of equity deserving youth in meaningful mentorship, personal development and employment related engagements.
Youth Horizons’ vision is threefold:
- Improving economic independence through financial education.
- Improving education through access to quality training.
- Improving secure employment through professional connections.
Youth Horizons is designed to empower and support young people facing multiple and compounding barriers (for example racialized youth, early leavers from high school, young people living in low-income households, underemployed and unhoused young people, young people experiencing precarious housing, single parent young people or young people in conflict with the law).
Our program enhances foundational and transferable skills, reduces barriers to employment, provides access to valuable real-world experiences and prepares youth for leadership roles within their community. Program is individual based, goal driven, inclusive, and most of all supports the needs of equity deserving youth.
As a community, we have come far when supporting our diverse youth. We recognize barriers still exist within traditional education, volunteer and work settings. Our priority is to deliver an inclusive, specialized program that is holistic, experiential and barrier free allowing equity-deserving youth to grow personally and professionally.
We are ready to partner with individuals, employers and community organizations who are ready to join our amazing journey of inclusion. We believe in innovation and as a result we do things differently. Status quo is no longer good enough for fair, just and equitable communities. We are here and ready to collaborate with others aligned with this mission and value.
Your support allows more diverse youth to participate in this specialized program and gain access to essential skills! Partnership benefits to your organization include but not limited to:
- Supporting equity-deserving youth’s economic independence and career trajectory.
- Recognition on The Dollar Detectives’ webpage, social media and campaign events.

- Building and enhancing a purposeful and inclusive organizational culture.
